  • Title: Coma in fulminant pneumococcal meningitis: new MRI observations.
    Author: Vernino S, Wijdicks EF, McGough PF.
    Journal: Neurology; 1998 Oct; 51(4):1200-2. PubMed ID: 9781561.
    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.
