Underlying Pathology

Although uncommon, infections of the central nervous system with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) can be associated with movement disorders. We report a case of 22 year immunocompromised male patient the hemichorea was the initial manifestation of cerebral peduncle tuberculoma. For the management of chorea due to tuberculoma, treatment with corticosteroid therapy is recommended. In spite of the good control of underlying pathology in some cases the abnormal movements may persist.

Abstract OBJECTIVE Spinal intramedullary histoplasmosis is an extremely rare condition. We report a case of isolated intramedullary histoplasmosis as the initial manifestation of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. CLINICAL PRESENTATION A 27-year-old man presented with a rapidly progressive paraparesis. Magnetic resonance imaging scans revealed an enhancing lesion at C7–T1 with edema extending as far as the cervicomedullary junction. He improved with steroid medications. INTERVENTION The patient underwent laminectomy and biopsy of the lesion. The diagnosis of histoplasmosis was made by histology, culture, and polymerase chain reaction identification of fungal deoxyribonucleic acid. The patient did not have disseminated histoplasmosis. Subsequent to the biopsy, the patient was discovered to have HIV infection. CONCLUSION The isolated spinal histoplasmosis lesion thus represented the initial presentation of HIV infection. Management of the case and diagnostic issues are discussed.
