Coccidioides meningoencephalitis is a central nervous system (CNS) fungal infection withCoccidioides species which can lead to various CNS complications, such as hydrocephalus,vasculitis, and stroke. Most cases reported with Coccidioides meningoencephalitis were inimmunocompromised patients, and the radiologic characteristics on this condition are not wellestablished. Here we report a case of Coccidioides meningoencephalitis in an immunocompetentpatient with one-year follow-up brain magnetic resonance image (MRI) studies after successfultreatment with antifungal drugs. The MRI demonstrated subcortical parenchymal lesions,selectively involving the white matter, and persistent meningeal enhancement.
