Cryptococcus neoformans is a yeast-like organism which, after inhalation, may cause pulmonary disease or a systemic fungemia associated with numerous extrapulmonary sites of infection, but most notably affecting the central nervous system. Despite this frequent involvement of the leptomeninges, only three cases of infection of the temporal bones have been previously described. We describe an additional case with comments on the possible significance of infection of this site.
新型隐球菌是一种酵母样微生物，吸入后可能导致肺部疾病或与多个肺外感染部位相关的系统性真菌血症，但最显著的是影响中枢神经系统。尽管软脑膜经常受累，但此前仅报道过3例颞骨感染病例。我们描述了另外1例病例，并对该部位感染的可能意义进行了评论。
