Acquired Intracerebral Toxoplasmosis Presented as Calcified Mass Lesions

Abstract

A case of cerebral toxoplasmosis in a 57-year-old female is reported, considered to be an acquired form of the disease, although no obvious immunosuppressive illness preceded the history. Clinical findings showed other interesting features with this patient, who developed convulsive disorders and had calcified round lesions in the basal ganglia and cerebral hemisphere. Toxoplasmosis antibody test was strongly positive and histological examination revealed intracellular protozoan toxoplasma.
