Hydrocephalus: an unusual CT presentation of cerebral toxoplasmosis in a patient with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome.

We describe a case of central nervous system (CNS) toxoplasmosis in a patient with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Supratentorial hydrocephalus as a result of aqueductal collapse was the only abnormal finding on computed tomography scan. Toxoplasma gondii is the most common pathogen organism in high-risk AIDS's patients with involvement of the CNS.

[Cardiogenic shock associated with inappropriate nutritional regimen: refeeding syndrome].

Situations of cardiac arrest have been reported in under-nourished patients with protein and calorie deficits when the provision of nutrients was initiated in an uncontrolled manner. The recognition of the association between the provision of food in these circumstances and the serious clinical consequences, generally heartbeat disorders, has led this condition to be described as "re-feeding syndrome". The case presented here is of severe acute respiratory failure and cardiogenic shock in a 44-year-old female patient with severe protein and calorie malnutrition associated with the start of hyperproteic nutritional support. Treatment with inotropic-vasoactive drugs and diuretics together with a progressive nutritional programme brought about the complete reversal of her heart failure and the concomitant endocrine-metabolic syndrome.
