# Choroid Plexitis and Obstructive Hydrocephalus Secondary to Cryptococcal Meningoencephalitis in an Immunocompetent Individual With Remarkable Imaging Findings: A Case Report

## TL;DR

This case report describes a rare fungal infection in a healthy person's brain, causing swelling and fluid buildup with unusual imaging results.

## Contribution

The report highlights rare bilateral choroid plexus invasion by Cryptococcus in an immunocompetent individual with obstructive hydrocephalus.

## Key findings

- Cryptococcus invaded the choroid plexus in a previously healthy male.
- The infection led to obstructive hydrocephalus with notable imaging features.

## Abstract

Cryptococcus is an invasive and opportunistic fungus usually associated with immunocompromised individuals. Invasion of the choroid plexus by Cryptococcus is rare. This report presents the radiologic findings of a previously healthy male with bilateral choroid plexus invasion complicated by obstructive hydrocephalus.
