Cryptococcus gattii (C. gattii) has been considered a leading cause of meningitis in immunocompetent hosts in tropical and subtropical regions. Visual loss is common but hearing impairment is relatively infrequent in C. gattii meningitis. Notably, there have been limited studies on the etiology, and especially therapy of auditory and ocular complications associated with C. gattii meningitis. Here we report a case of reversible deafness and blindness treated with a ventriculoperitoneal shunt (VPS) surgery in C. gattii meningitis. This case indicated that elevated intracranial pressure (ICP) may play a role in the concurrent hearing and vision impairments associated with C. gattii meningitis and the early VPS surgery after the initiation of the antifungal therapy may effectively improve both hearing and vision in this condition.
