Cerebral arteritis and bacterial meningitis
M. Igarashi, R. C. Gilmartin, B. Gerald, F. Wilburn and J. T. Jabbour
Twelve cases of large- and medium-sized cerebral artery stenosis and/or
occlusion associated with bacterial meningitis occurred. Neurological
complication due to arterial involvement developed in seven patients on the
third and fourth days of illness; in one patient, it developed on the fifth
day, and in another it developed on the 14th day. In three cases, this
could not be determined. Arterial stenosis is considered primarily to
result from arterial spasm due to humoral factors that may be elaborated
within the CSF or arterial wall, as in the cases of ruptured aneurysm; and
secondarily, from to inflammatory involvement of major vessels at the base
of the brain and from irritation by angiographic contrast material.
