[Cryptococcoma of the adrenal gland].

The case is described of a 49-year-old man who developed cryptococcal meningo-encephalitis ten months before his death. Six months later complicating hydrocephalus occurred which required the implantation of a ventriculo-peritoneal shunt. A further four months later the patient, who was receiving anticoagulation therapy due to deep vein thrombosis, died from intraventricular cerebral haemorrhage.
