Vision loss in an AIDS patient with cryptococcal meningitis.

Cryptococcal meningitis is considered one of the AIDS-defining illness and has been reported to be associated with neurological sequels. However, acute vision loss as presenting complaint is rare in Cryptococcal meningitis. Management of Cryptococcal meningitis with antifungal therapy may not lead to favourable outcomes and may necessitate the need for invasive intervention. We report a case of acute bilateral visual loss secondary to Cryptococcal meningitis.
