We report a case of cryptococcal meningoencephalitis in a 52 year-old man. The patient had complained of headache and drowsiness for a few hours before he became comatose with a bilateral sixth cranial nerve palsy. The cerebrospinal fluid contained less than one lymphocyte per cubic millimeter, a low glucose level (0.20 g/l) and numerous Cryptococcus neoformans encapsulated yeasts. A neuropathological study showed that the cortex and midbrain were involved. To our knowledge, such an acute case with death within the first 20 hours has not yet been reported.
