Educational objective: Cryptococcal meningoencephalitis is common in patients with advanced AIDS and generally manifests with signs of elevated intracranial pressure (ICP), including progressive headaches, nausea/vomiting, and confusion.In a minority of patients, elevated ICP compresses the 6th cranial nerve
and results in diplopia and lateral gaze palsy. The diagnosis is generally made using lumbar puncture with CSF analysis and India ink stain or capsular polysaccharide antigen testing.
