title: A case of CNS cryptococcosis presenting with slowly alternating skew deviation.
abstract: Alternating skew deviation is a rare malfunction of vertical ocular motility, which has previously been described with lesions of the brainstem and cerebellum, although the precise localization is unknown. We describe an HIV seronegative patient with CNS cryptococcosis, whose initial presentation included slowly alternating skew deviation.
