We report the case of a 28‐year‐old woman with history of lupus treated by Mycophenolate Mofetil and admitted for febrile meningeal syndrome associated with diplopia. Both initial and control brain MRI showed pseudo‐meningiomatous lesion while second CSF microscopy revealed characterizing images of Cryptococcus neoformans.
