ABSTRACTBACKGROUND AND PURPOSEIschemic stroke is a common complication of cryptococcal meningitis. Fluid attenuated inversion recovery vascular hyperintensity (FVH) is a neuroimaging marker of sluggish blood flow usually seen in the setting of acute stroke. FVH have never been described in the setting of meningitis.METHODSCase report.RESULTSA 20‐year‐old man with cryptococcal meningitis and a magnetic resonance imaging demonstrating FVH had subsequent neurological deterioration and was found to have bilateral ischemic stroke.CONCLUSIONSIn conditions with high risk of stroke, such as meningitis, the presence of FVH should alert the clinician to the possibility of impending infarction.
