Cryptococcus neoformans is the leading cause of meningitis in patients with Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) and is associated with high mortality rate. Presenting symptoms include fever, nausea and vomiting, altered mentation, headache and meningismus. Cryptococcal meningitis is not infrequently complicated by raised intracranial pressure and visual sequelae (sometimes by blindness). In patients who survive the infection, the most debilitating outcome appears to be visual impairment or blindness. Management of impending visual complication combines medical and surgical treatment modalities. We report two cases of cryptococcal meningitis associated with visual impairment.
