Neurotoxoplasmosis represents the most common opportunistic infection of the central nervous system in patients living with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), particularly in those with CD4 lymphocyte counts below 100 cells/mm³. We describe a case of neurotoxoplasmosis with atypical imaging manifestations, mimicking a toxicometabolic disorder. Although common, the diagnosis of neurotoxoplasmosis can be challenging. The identification of atypical radiological patterns is essential for a targeted and effective therapeutic approach.
