Abstract
An 51-year-old man had undergone surgery for Rathke's cleft cyst by transsphenoidal approach on October 2015. After the surgery, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) rhinorrhea arose. Surgical treatment of CSF rhinorrhea was performed by the same approach. Ten days after reoperation, he suffered from severe headache, high fever, and nuchal rigidity. CSF findings indicated bacterial meningitis. CSF culture showed methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus lugdunensis. He received vancomycin intravenously for 19 days and recovered from the bacterial meningitis with no serious complication.Entities:
