| Abstract |
|
With the dramatic lowering the mortality rate of bacterial meningitis since the introduction of
antibacterial agents, multiple attacks of bacterial meningitis no longer are a curiosity. So multiple
attacks of bacterial meningitis may be the only indication of the existence of an abnormal communication
between the nasopharynx or ear and the meningeal space and such a communication must be found.
We have experienced a case that a patient who had had recurrent bacterial meningitis had defect of Stapes footplate through which the CSF was leaking. We diagnosed by middle ear exploration and packed into the
inner ear vestibule using the temporalism & fascia. The authors reported a. case of recurrent bacterial meningitis secondary to oval window CSF leakage with a brief review of related literatures.
