[CME/Answers: Rare Clinical Presentation of Bacterial Meningitis]

CME/Answers: Rare Clinical Presentation of Bacterial Meningitis Abstract. We report the case of a 59-year-old woman presenting with watery rhinorrhea and light cough since three days and new onset of headache. The evaluation proved a bacterial meningitis. We started an inpatient therapy according to the established guidelines. Due to recurrent vigilance reduction and increasing rhinorrhea we performed a liquid analysis with beta-trace testing, which proved a rhinoliquorrhea. Through an exploration of the skull base liquor leaks were detected and sufficiently closed.
