Abstract：
:Sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) is a known complication of cryptococcal meningitis; however, it is unusual for a patient to present with isolated otologic symptoms. We review the case of a patient who is not immunocompromised and who presented with progressive gait instability and sudden onset of left-sided SNHL followed by progression to bilateral SNHL within a 3-week period. Cryptococcal meningitis was confirmed by lumbar puncture with positive cryptococcus antigen in the cerebrospinal fluid. The patient was treated with systemic antifungals, and the hearing loss persisted. The presented report outlines this patient's unusual presentation and his treatment course and reviews the literature on the otologic manifestations of cryptococcal meningitis.
