A 40-day-old girl with B-group streptococcal meningitis was examined with ultrasonography (US) and transcranial Doppler flowmeter. Transfontanelle US with a 7.5 MHz probe showed a dilatation of the extracerebral space (ECS). The flow velocity in the middle cerebral artery increased remarkably in the acute phase, and thereafter returned to normal. The superficial arterial velocity on the left side could not be recorded in the period of fluid collection in the left ECS. These two methods are useful procedures in the evaluation of infantile bacterial meningitis and its complications.
一名40日龄患B族链球菌脑膜炎的女孩接受了超声检查（US）和经颅多普勒血流仪检查。使用7.5MHz探头经囟门超声检查显示脑外间隙（ECS）增宽。急性期大脑中动脉血流速度显著增加，之后恢复正常。左侧脑外间隙积液期间左侧浅表动脉血流速度无法记录。这两种方法在评估婴幼儿细菌性脑膜炎及其并发症方面是有用的检查手段。
