BACKGROUND: Bacterial meningitis is a medical emergency, and immediate diagnostic
steps must be taken to establish the specific cause. Recurrence of bacterial
meningitis in children is not only potentially life-threatening, but also
involves or induces psychological trauma to the patients through repeated
hospitalization with many invasive investigations. CASE PRESENTATION: A
6-year-old boy was diagnosed with recurrent bacterial meningitis caused by
Streptococcus Pneumonia 23 F. He had received serial imaging studies for
identifying the cause. The initial sinus computed tomography (CT) also showed
sinusitis without bony defect of sinus. However, after performing nuclear scan,
the results showed cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaked originating from the right
petrooccpital region into the middle ear. Subsequent high resolution CT (HRCT)
reports showed focal enlargement of the right facial nerve canal, erosion of the
bony canal at geniculate ganglion and tympanic segment with tiny high-density
spots. The reconstruction HRCT showed multiple bony defects at temporal bone. The
magnetic resonance imaging revealed multifocal bony destruction with CSF
collection in the right petrous ridge, carotid canal and jugular foramen.
Eventually, CSF leakage to the right middle ear was confirmed and this could be
the cause of the recurrent bacteria meningitis in this patient. CONCLUSION:
Although recurrent bacterial meningitis in childhood is not common, this case
report illustrates that recurrence of meningitis within a short period should be
considered as cause of underline immunologic or anatomic defect.
