Progression of cerebellar infarction in Cryptococcal meningoencephalitis. a, d FLAIR (a) and DWI (d) performed following internal and external decompression 10 days after admission. The ischemic lesion progressed to the contralateral cerebellar hemisphere with peripheral edema and ventricular dilatation unresponsive to external continuous ventricular drainage. b, e. FLAIR (b) and DWI (e) performed 17 days after admission. The ischemic and edematous lesion progressed from dorsal to ventral. c, f FLAIR (c) and DWI (f) performed 23 days after admission, 3 days before the patient died. The cerebellum had completely swollen, and tight cisterns were observed indicating brain herniation
