Abstract
Cryptococcus brain abscess was uncommon and cryptococcal cerebellar abscess and pneumonia were rarely in immunocompetent patients. We report a case of an immunocompetent adult with multiple cerebellar abscess and pneumonia caused by cryptococcus. She gave a history of headache, vomiting, chest pain and bilateral cerebellar signs. Multiple Cerebellar abscess and pneumonia were detected on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Our patient underwent lung biopsy, resection of the lesion and the cryptococcoma was subsequently diagnosed by histopathologic examination. The patient was treated successfully with debridements and prolonged antifungal medicine therapy.
