Enlarging histoplasmomas following treatment of meningitis due to Histoplasma capsulatum Case report
J Neurosurg.
1979 Aug.
Abstract
This report describes a case in which an intracranial histoplasmoma was successfully treated with surgical removal and amphotericin B. This is the third reported case of its kind. The authors discuss problems of preoperative diagnosis in a patient with depressed cell-mediated immunity, and no evidence of extracerebral dissemination.
