| Abstract: | Cerebral and cerebellar masses occurred in patients with paracoccidioidomycosis. Correct diagnosis was delayed due to overlooking the abnormal lung roentgenograms and the history of previous disease in a different localization. The fungus was identified through biopsy and direct examination of the samples. In two patients necropsy confirmed the diagnosis. None of the patients responded to amphotericin B or cotrimoxazole. A 10 year English and Latin American literature review on neuroparacoccidioidomycosis was performed through a MEDLINE and LILACS (Latin American Literature Search System) data base systems. |
