Coma in fulminant pneumococcal meningitis: new MRI observations.

S Vernino1, E F Wijdicks, P F McGough.   

Abstract

We report a 45-year-old man with fulminant pneumococcal meningitis. Fluid attenuated inverse ratio MR images showed the ravaging consequences of occlusive vasculopathy and a transient purulent basal exudate. Bilateral thalamic lesions may have explained the failure to awaken despite appropriate antibiotic therapy.
