Abstract
A case is reported of a cryptococcal granuloma occurring within the lateral ventricle. The findings on angiography and brain-scanning led to a preoperative diagnosis of intraventricular meningioma. There are no previous reports of an isotope brain-scan in this condition and angiography usually shows an avascular swelling.
