Abstract |
Recurrent bacterial meningitis is a rare disease which is associated with congenital or acquired
anatomical defects of CNS and surround structures, or it may be due to parameningeal foci of
infection, defects in immune response, and post-operative state of shunt procedure in hydrocephalus.
We experienced the patient of recurrent bacterial meningitis with CSF rhinorrhea due to structural
defect which was not defined exactly.
We identified the CSF rhinorrhea by radioisotope cisternography and metrizamide brain CT scan.
The case was presented with brief review of literatures. |
