Early Cortical Cytotoxic Edema in Meningococcal Meningitis
Pediatric Neurology , 08/06/09
Citton V et al. – The authors present a 2–year–old child affected by Neisseria meningitidis sepsis, who on the second day from clinical onset manifested recurrent partial motor seizures and focal neurologic signs. An early magnetic resonance angiography of the circle of Willis produced normal results, whereas magnetic resonance imaging of the brain disclosed cortical signal abnormalities consistent with cytotoxic edema, without involvement of the adjacent white matter.
