Аннотация
BACKGROUND: Pneumococcal meningitis in adults is widely associated with intracranial complications, which occur in up to 74.7% of the patients.
METHOD: Case report.
RESULTS: We report the case of a 40-year-old white female with pneumococcal meningitis after a sinus surgery, who developed a concomitant cerebral venous thrombosis and multiple cervical artery dissections. Following treatment with antibiotics and intravenous heparin, she had complete neurological recovery.
CONCLUSIONS: Vascular complications should always be remembered and adequately treated in patients with bacterial meningitis. Cervical arterial dissections should be investigated as potential embolic sources of intracranial ischemic lesions.
