Abstract
- Ocular disturbances related to cranial nerve lesion or increased intracranial pressure are well known in cryptococcal meningitis, but internuclear ophthaloplegia is very rare and only two cases have been reported to our knowledge. We report the third patient of internuclear ophthalmoplegia in cryptococal meningitis. The internuclear ophthalmoplegia in our case persisted for one year with a demonstrable lesion in brain MRI, in contrast to the other cases in which intranuclear ophthalmoplegia was transient and no responsible lesion was observed.
