  • Title: [Adult pneumococcal meningitis complicated by cerebral infarction: a case report].
    Author: Mukai K, Yasuda T, Hara K, Funakawa I, Terao A.
    Journal: Rinsho Shinkeigaku; 1996 Sep; 36(9):1110-3. PubMed ID: 8976139.
    Abstract:
    We describe a 36-year-old man with pneumococcal meningitis who suddenly showed a left central type facial palsy and left hemiparesis. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a low intensity area in the posterior limb and genu of the right internal capsule to caudate nucleus in T1-weighted images and a high intensity area in T2-weighted images. We surmised vasculitis as the cause of cerebral infarction, because steroid treatment was effective.
