Brain tumors associated with psychogenic non-epileptic seizures: Case series.

Objective: The association of psychogenic non-epileptic seizures (PNES) with primary or secondary brain tumors has not been well described in the literature. We aim to discuss their association, and their impact in brain tumor treatment.

Patients And Methods: We identified four patients retrospectively from our practice.

Isolated Histoplasma capsulatum meningoencephalitis in an immunocompetent child.

Histoplasmosis with central nervous system involvement typically arises in the immunocompromised patient with disseminated fungal disease. Rarely, neurologic histoplasmosis may arise as an isolated syndrome in immunocompetent individuals without evidence of general dissemination. The disease often is diagnostically challenging, and a high index of suspicion is required for diagnosis.
