  • Abstract
  • Look Inside

We reported a rare case of craniopharyngioma with chemical meningitis due to spontaneous rupture of the tumor. A 50-year-old woman was admitted with high fever, headache, and nausea. On physical examination, she had nuchal rigidity. The examination of her cere-bral spinal fluid (CSF) revealed pleocytosis (mononu-clear cell dominant), low value of glucose level and high content of protein. The feature of her CSF find-ings suggested tuberculosis or fungal meningitis, but bacteriologic culture of the CSF was negative. The CT scan showed an isodensity mass in the suprasellar re-gion and a spotty calcification in the third ventricle.
