RESUMEN
In case of no head trauma history and intact immunity, adultonset recurrent bacterial meningitis is scarce. Parameningeal infection is the crucial latent cause of recurrent bacterial meningitis in adults. Nasal polyp can cause a variety of nasal symptoms, depending on its location and size. Chronic sinusitis with nasal polyp tends to have more severe symptoms than those without nasal polyp. We report a case of adult onset third recurrent bacterial meningitis associated with inflammatory nasal polyp.
RESUMEN
Klebsiella pneumoniae is an unusual cause of brain abscess. Among the few cases of Klebsiella pneumoniae brain abscess that have been reported, most were associated with another underlying primary focus of infection. Endogenous endophthalmitis caused by Klebsiella pneumoniae is an infrequent but often devastating septic metastatic infection. We report a rare case of Klebsiella pneumoniae brain abscess and endophthalmitis after acute epiglottitis.
RESUMEN
Diagnosis of transient ischemic attack has been entirely dependent on the clinical history due to the absence of brain magnetic resonance imaging lesion. It is challenging to distinguish between transient ischemic attack and transient ischemic attack-mimics. Cerebral microbleeds would be found in 11.1–23.5% of incidental findings in elderly population. However, cerebral microbleeds have been known to lead to cognitive decline, dementia, seizure and even status epilepticus. We report a case of cerebral microbleeds induced epileptic seizure, visiting the emergency room with sudden onset unilateral motor weakness.
