A child experienced recurrent Proteus mirabilis meningitis due to an occipital epidermoid cyst. Surgical removal of the cyst led to complete recovery, highlighting the importance of identifying underlying structural causes for pediatric meningitis.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Neurology
  • Neurosurgery
  • Infectious Diseases

Background:

  • Recurrent bacterial meningitis in children can indicate an underlying structural abnormality.
  • Proteus mirabilis is an uncommon but significant pathogen in meningitis, particularly in certain patient populations.

Observation:

  • A 25-month-old girl presented with three episodes of purulent meningitis caused by Proteus mirabilis.
  • Imaging revealed a central occipital epidermoid cyst and cerebellar abscesses.

Findings:

  • The epidermoid cyst was identified as the likely predisposing factor for recurrent Proteus mirabilis meningitis.
  • Surgical excision of the epidermoid cyst resulted in complete resolution of meningitis episodes.

Implications:
