Abstract

We present the case of a 6-year-old girl with recurrent bacterial meningitis and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) rhinorrhea associated with a petrous apex cephalocele (PAC). We diagnosed her by means of three-dimensional computed tomography (CT) and heavily T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Petrous apex cephaloceles are usually an asymptomatic incidental finding in adults; however, they should be considered as a possible cause of CSF rhinorrhea, otorrhea, and recurrent meningitis in children.

摘要

我们报告了一例6岁女孩的病例，她患有复发性细菌性脑膜炎和脑脊液（CSF）鼻漏，与岩尖脑膨出（PAC）有关。我们通过三维计算机断层扫描（CT）和重T2加权磁共振成像（MRI）对她进行了诊断。岩尖脑膨出在成人中通常是无症状的偶然发现；然而，在儿童中，应将其视为脑脊液鼻漏、耳漏和复发性脑膜炎的可能病因。
