Case report: Meningitis and intracranial aneurysm caused by mixed infection of oral microflora dominated by anaerobes.
Abstract
Meningitis caused by oral anaerobic bacteria is rare, especially when complicated with an infected intracranial aneurysm. This paper has described an extremely rare case of bacterial meningitis caused by a mixed infection of oral microflora dominated by anaerobes, which developed cerebral infarcts, brain abscess, intracranial aneurysm, and severe hydrocephalus during treatment.
