    Abstract:
    Meningitis of the newborn is often accompanied by ventriculitis. This may be one of the reasons for the still unfavourable prognosis of neonatal meningitis. In a few cases we achieved sterile ventricular fluid with additional intraventricular application of antibiotics. An examination of ventricular fluids should be performed when there is the slightest suspicion of ventriculitis. Early institution of additional antibiotic therapy intraventricularly as well as some of the newer antibiotics (p.e. Cefotaxime) seem to produce better results. We observed the following complications of meningoventriculitis: hydrocephalus, porencephaly, and multicystic encephalopathy.
