Abstract
BACKGROUND: A persistent craniopharyngeal canal (PCC) is a rare but treatable anatomical abnormality that causes recurrent meningitis and should be considered as a differential diagnosis. CASE REPORT: We report a case of an 8-year-old boy who presented with recurrent meningitis associated to his PCC. Surgical repair was performed, and no further episodes occurred.Entities:
