Abstract
A difficult and tragic case of central nervous system blastomycosis is presented as the basis for a review of the diagnostic criteria required to establish this diagnosis and to present a scheme for the diagnosis and therapy of chronic meningitis. The diagnosis in our case was complicated by preexisting inadequately treated tuberculosis; a prepontine mass; and a cervical intradural, extramedullary, circumferential mass. This exceptional case of chronic basilar meningitis with cervical myelopathy was caused by Blastomyces dermatitidis.
