A report is presented of two cases of recurrent meningitis (mainly pneumococcal meningitis with different serotypes). The different possible causes of recurrent meningitis are discussed. The key to diagnosis in recurrent meningitis caused by forgotten traumatic fracture of the ethmoid bone is X-ray investigation including tomography of this region. The prognosis is poor in infancy, but improves with increasing age of the child and is dependent on early diagnosis of the underlying causative process.
本文报告了两例复发性脑膜炎病例（主要是不同血清型的肺炎球菌性脑膜炎）。文中讨论了复发性脑膜炎的不同可能病因。对于因筛骨隐匿性创伤性骨折导致的复发性脑膜炎，诊断的关键是进行包括该区域断层扫描在内的X线检查。婴儿期预后较差，但随着患儿年龄增长预后会改善，且取决于潜在病因过程的早期诊断。
