Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
CT in childhood bacterial meningitis has indicated that bacterial meningitis is more than an inflammation of the subarachnoid space; it is a disease process which often exerts a profound effect on the brain parenchyma. In some cases ventricular widening may be a reflection of loss of brain substance rather than increased intracranial pressure. A vasculitis may occur in cerebral vessels with consequent ischemic infarct. The abnormalities found on CT during the acute illness are frequently persistent. |
