ABSTRACT
Language is a primary factor in comprehending the functional organization of the brain. Starting with the static anatomoclinical model, followed by the limited aphasiological model, functional imaging techniques have allowed a more dynamic approach that adds complexity to the study of the interaction between brain and language, and bespeak the influence of parameters such as age, sex, motivation, and stress.

The authors describe the radiological pattern of meningitis neurological complications. These complications are vascular lesions, arteritis and thrombophlebitis, brain swelling, hydro-cephalus, extra-cerebral collections, neuritis and labyrinthitis. When meningitis complication is suspected, MRI must be the first neuroradiological investigation.
