Abstract: A case of African histoplasmosis of the skull associated with neurological deficit has been reported. There was complete recovery of neurological features after excision of the lesion followed by a course of co-trimoxazole. A review of the available literature indicates the rarity of this particular mode of presentation. The reversibility of the neurological complications makes it important that clinicians increase their awareness of this treatable condition
