Iatrogenic Nontraumatic CPAP-Induced Pneumocephalus in a Patient with Meningitis.
Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine, 2019Co-Authors: Antonios Charokopos, Mary Elizabeth Card, Richard Peter Manes, Albert C. ShawAbstract:Pneumocephalus, or air within the cranium, can be caused by trauma, intracranial infections, or tumors, and can also occur as a complication of neurosurgery and lumbar puncture. Continuous positive...

Iatrogenic Nontraumatic CPAP-Induced Pneumocephalus in a Patient with Meningitis.
Journal of clinical sleep medicine : JCSM : official publication of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, 2019Co-Authors: Antonios Charokopos, Mary Elizabeth Card, Richard Peter Manes, Albert ShawAbstract:Pneumocephalus, or air within the cranium, can be caused by trauma, intracranial infections, or tumors, and can also occur as a complication of neurosurgery and lumbar puncture. Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy can precipitate or worsen pneumocephalus in cases of known head trauma. However, nontraumatic pneumocephalus being caused by CPAP is a highly unexpected clinical event. We describe a case of a Patient who presented with Meningitis due to an atypical organism that usually resides in the oral cavity, and who developed nontraumatic pneumocephalus in the hospital due to CPAP therapy. The underlying cause, a cerebrospinal fluid leak, was likely the mediator for both pathologies. In the setting of the increasing prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea, physicians can benefit from being aware of this atypical presentation of Meningitis and atypical complication of CPAP therapy.

trimethoprim sulfamethoxazole treatment for Meningitis owing to multidrug resistant elizabethkingia meningoseptica in an extremely low birthweight premature infant
Paediatrics and International Child Health, 2012Co-Authors: Ismail Kursad Gokce, Mehmet Yekta Oncel, Fuat Emre Canpolat, Nurdan Uras, Omer Erdeve, Ramazan Ozdemir, Serife Suna Oguz, Ugur DilmenAbstract:Elizabethkingia meningoseptica is a recognised cause of Meningitis in premature neonates and severe infections in immunocompromised adults; multi-drug resistance is a major issue. A premature infant developed sepsis, Meningitis and hydrocephalus owing to E. meningoseptica and was treated successfully with trimethoprim–sulfamethoxazole (TMP–SMZ) for 3 weeks. A ventriculoperitoneal shunt was required for hydrocephalus. This is the youngest Patient with Meningitis caused by E. meningoseptica to have responded to TMP–SMZ.
