Abstract
Cryptococcosis of central nervous system is uncommon, but fatal if untreated. We experienced a case of cryptococcal ventriculitis with hydrocephalus. The symptom was an increased intracranial pressure without meningeal irritation sign It was confirmed by pathology and cytology taken from fibrous material, which caused a obstruction of shunt catheter in the lateral ventricle. We report a case of cryptococcal ventriculitis in 6 years old male child.
임상적으로 뇌압 항진 소견을 보여서 시행한 뇌전산화 단층 촬영상 뇌수두증이 확인되어 뇌실 복막간 단락술을 시행하였으나, 단락 도관 기능 부전증이 크립토코스 뇌실염에 의해 초래된 것이 조직학적 검사로 확인된 한 예를 문헌 고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.
