- A 34-year-old man with AIDS was admitted to the hospital with a one-week history of cough, chest pain, and fever. Radiography revealed a cavitating left upper lobe lesion. Two weeks later he developed a headache associated with a contrast enhancing lesion in the right parietal lobe. The patient had a progressive downhill course, developing atrioventricular block and hypernatremia. Neuro-ophthalmologically, there was a mild facial droop, “hand motions” vision with presumed bilateral cytomegalic inclusion retinitis, and signs of a mesencephalic syndrome, including lid retraction. Discussions center on the differential diagnosis of the central nervous system disease and the obligative recommendations the neuro-ophthalmologist must be willing to make.
