Arterial Dilatation in Purulent Meningitis

LTHOUGH angiographically visualized changes in the arteries have been described in patients with tuberculous ~ and fungal 1,2 meningitis, other types of meningitis have not been studied extensively by this technique. Those patients in whom purulent meningitis is found are usually studied only when there is suspicion of a mass lesion or cerebritis secondary to or causing the meningeal inflammation. Thus, the signs that may be present are little known, and a recent ease prompted this report.
