Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Congenital malformations may present as meningitis caused by enteric organisms, but this is extremely rare and occurs almost exclusively in the paediatric population. We report an unusual case of a young man with chronic constipation presenting with spontaneous Gram-negative meningitis due to an underlying congenital spinal malformation known as the caudal regression syndrome. |
