Abstract

Meningitis is life-threating, severe infection of central nervous system. Although appropriate treatment, complications are been encountered such as seizure, subdural effusion, subdural empyema, inreased intracranial pressure, paralsy of cranial nerves, stroke, cerebral or cerebellar hernition, ataxia, thrombosis of dural vein sinuses at patients with meningitis. Here, we present 3 patients with meningitis, operation was considered about them, but two of them were operated, finally all patients were fully recovered. In conclusion, meningitis is encountered common in childhood, patients are observed carefully for complications during treatment and follow-up. The cases with complicated meningitis or recurrent meningitis due to anatomic defect must be followed together Neurosurgery and Ear Nose Throat departments.

Özet

Menenjit santral sinir sisteminin hayatı tehdit eden ciddi bir enfeksiyonudur. Menenjitli hastalarda uygun tedaviye rağmen nöbet, subdural efüzyon, subdural ampiyem, intrakranial basınç artışı, kafa çiftlerinde paralizi, inme, serebral veya serebellar herniasyon, ataksi, dural ven sinüslerinde tromboz gibi komplikasyonlarla karşılaşılır. Burada menenjit tanısı konulan 3 farklı hastada cerrahi tedavinin gündeme geldiği, 2'sinde cerrahi girişim uygulanan ve sonuçta hastaların tamamen düzeldiği olgular sunulmaktadır. Sonuç olarak, menenjit çocukluk çağında karşılaşılan bir hastalık olup, tedavisi sırasında veya izleminde komplikasyonlar açısından hasta dikkatli izlenmelidir. Komplikasyon gelişen hastalar veya anatomik defekte bağlı tekrarlayan menenjit geçiren olgular Beyin Cerrahisi ve KBB bölümleriyle birlikte izlenmelidir.
