Idiopathic eosinophilia complicated with cryptococcal meningitis: a case report.

Idiopathic eosinophilia, characterized by unexplained peripheral blood eosinophilia after ruling out secondary causes, is an extremely rare condition. Cryptococcal meningitis is a life-threatening opportunistic infection that primarily affects immunocompromised individuals, such as those with advanced AIDS or leukemia. In this report, we present a unique case of idiopathic eosinophilia concurrent with cryptococcal meningitis, which, to the best of our knowledge, is the first such case described globally.

Article Synopsis
- Eosinophilic angiocentric fibrosis (EAF) is a rare, benign condition that typically affects the sinonasal and upper respiratory tract, with very few cases occurring in the brain.
- The report details a case of a 55-year-old man who was initially misdiagnosed with meningioma due to similar clinical and imaging features but was confirmed to have EAF after surgical examination.
- This case highlights the importance of considering EAF in the diagnosis of brain lesions that resemble meningiomas, emphasizing the need for thorough histopathological evaluation for accurate diagnosis and treatment.
