The current frequency of road accidents leads to the necessity to seek a possible head injury in the past history of patients suffereing from acute purulent meningitis. This investigation must be all the more assiduous in the presence of a meningitis which is pneumococcal in origin and recurrent. Rhinorrhoea is a sign of primary importance. Tomography of the frontal and sagittal views of the skul remains of value. Radio-isotope studies of the CSF happile make up for the deficiencies of radiological examination, without providing an infallible means for the detection of osteomeningitis defects. The authors report their findings and therapeutic results in 16 patients collected in a series of 162 cases of acute purulent meningitis.
当前道路交通事故的频发态势，使得有必要在患有急性化脓性脑膜炎的患者既往病史中探寻可能存在的头部损伤情况。在起源为肺炎球菌性且呈复发性的脑膜炎病例中，这种调查必须更加勤勉。鼻漏是一个至关重要的体征。颅骨正位和矢状位断层扫描仍具有价值。脑脊液的放射性同位素研究虽有助于弥补放射学检查的不足，但并非检测颅骨骨髓炎缺损的绝对可靠方法。作者报告了从162例急性化脓性脑膜炎病例系列中收集的16例患者的研究结果及治疗效果。
