Loss of vision due to cryptococcal optochiasmatic arachnoiditis and optocurative surgical exploration--case report.

A female patient became blind as a complication of cryptococcal optochiasmatic arachnoiditis. The diagnosis of optochiasmatic arachnoiditis was made by metrizamide CT cisternography. Surgical lysis of the adhesion restored her vision. The diagnosis and surgical treatment of optochiasmatic arachnoiditis in cryptococcal meningitis are discussed.
