 AB    We report the case of an adult AIDS-patient with an unusual pattern of
       toxoplasmic encephalitis resembling the congenital form of the disease.
       Extensive exudative ependymitis and plexitis caused obstruction of
       internal CSF-pathways with rapid development of hydrocephalus. CT showed
       hydrocephalus and multifocal hypodense non-enhancing lesions. Direct
       microscopy of the CSF demonstrated Toxoplasma organisms.
