Resumo: Cranial CT scans of eleven immunocompetent children with central nervous system (CNS) infection due to Cryptococcus neoformans var. gattii were retrospectively reviewed. These children had an average age of 8.8 years and positive culture for C. n. var. gattii in cerebrospinal fluid. The most common signs and symptoms were headache, fever, nuchal rigidity, nausea and vomiting. No normal cranial CT was detected in any patient. Hypodense nodules were observed in all patients . The remaining scan abnormalities were as follows: nine had diffuse atrophy, six had hydrocephalus, and five had hydrocephalus coexistent with diffuse atrophy.

Os achados tomográficos de 11 crianças imunocompetentes com infecção do sistema nervoso central por Cryptococcus neoformans var. gattii foram revisados. Estas crianças tinham uma média de idade de 8,8 anos e cultivo positivo do líquor para C. neoformans var. gattii. Os sinais e sintomas mais comuns foram cefaléia, febre, rigidez de nuca, náusea e vômitos. Todas as tomografias de crânio foram anormais. Em todos os pacientes foram observados nódulos hipodensos. As demais anormalidades tomográficas foram: 9 pacientes com atrofia cerebral difusa, 6 pacientes com hidrocefalia e 5 com associação de hidrocefalia e atrofia cerebral difusa.
