Cerebral infarction has been reported as one of the late complications in cryptococcal meningitis. We report a case of cryptococcal meningitis, which initially presented with multiple cerebral infarctions of the bilateral basal ganglia and thalamus without the usual clinical signs of meningitis.Key Words: Cryptococcal meningitis, Cerebral infarction
