  • Title: Mollaret's recurrent aseptic meningitis: relationship to epidermoid cysts. Light microscopic and ultrastructural cytological studies of the cerebrospinal fluid.
    Author: de Chadarévian JP, Becker WJ.
    Journal: J Neuropathol Exp Neurol; 1980 Nov; 39(6):661-9. PubMed ID: 7452319.
    Abstract:
    Cells, originally called "endothelial" cells, have been described in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of patients developing recurrent aseptic meningitis (Mollaret's meningitis). In an attempt at better establishing their nature, a 6-year-old child was followed for a period of 3 1/2 years. A cytological light microscopic and ultrastructural study was performed on samples of the CSF obtained during 17 attacks. The findings are presented, and the relationship of Mollaret's meningitis to intracranial epidermoid cysts is discussed.
