Abstract
Intracranial hypertension is considered a common and severe complication of cryptococcal meningitis (CM), contributing to early mortality and neurological sequelae. Timely and effective control of elevated intracranial pressure is crucial for the management of CM. Herein, the authors present a case of ventricular abdominal wall drainage for CM accompanied with acute intracranial hypertension. Notably, the patient has a history of taking immunosuppressants for thoracic and abdominal diffuse lymphangiomatosis. After continuous drainage of cerebrospinal fluid combined with standardized antifungal treatment, the patient recovered well.
颅内高压是隐球菌脑膜炎（CM）常见的严重并发症，可导致早期死亡和神经系统后遗症。及时有效地控制颅内压升高是治疗隐球菌脑膜炎的关键。在此，作者介绍了一例因 CM 并发急性颅内高压而进行腹腔腹壁引流的病例。值得注意的是，患者曾因胸腔和腹腔弥漫性淋巴管瘤病服用免疫抑制剂。在持续引流脑脊液并进行规范的抗真菌治疗后，患者恢复良好。
期刊介绍：
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
