Intracranial bruits (ICB) are faint, high-pitched, and mostly heard on the orbit in the systolic phase of the cardiovascular cycle. This report discusses a case of Listeria monocytogenes meningitis in a 17-month-old male patient in whom ICB were auscultated. ICB is thought to be caused by compression of blood vessels due to increased intracranial pressure and may serve as an additional sign supporting the diagnosis of meningitis. The present report contains video data on the ICB.
颅内杂音(ICB)是一种微弱的高调声音,主要在心血管周期的收缩期在眼眶处听到。本报告讨论了一例 17 个月大男性李斯特菌性脑膜炎患者出现 ICB 的病例。据认为,ICB 是由于颅内压升高导致血管受压引起的,可能作为支持脑膜炎诊断的附加征象。本报告包含 ICB 的视频数据。
