We studied two cases of bilateral visual loss secondary to an optic neuropathy in patients with cryptococcal meningitis. In both cases a history of visual loss after the onset of an episode of cryptococcal meningitis was elicited. Visual fields were consistent with optic nerve disease. The patients' visual loss appeared to be the result of perineuritic adhesive arachnoiditis. Although no surgical interventions were carried out in our patients, medical or surgical intervention may be useful to prevent or relieve constrictive arachnoiditis and preserve vision in selected patients.
