Abstract

Chronic Meningitis accounts for fewer cases of meningitis. It is very difficult to find the culprit organism and treat the same. Complications like hyponatremia, hydrocephalus, neurological impairement should always be suspected early in patients with chronic meningitis and should be treated with multi-disciplinary team approach. We encountered a case of traumatic brain injury who eventually developed meningitis, hydrocephalus and was treated for same multiple times and was discharged home with some neurological impairment.
