Clinical Relevance and Frequency of Transient Stenoses of the Middle and Anterior Cerebral Arteries in Bacterial Meningitis
Stroke 26:1399-1403, Muller,M.,et al, 1995
See this aricle in Pubmed
Article Abstract
Transient stenoses occurred most frequently between days 3 and 5 and were detected in 18 patients(51%).Seventeen patients remained without a stenosis.Patients with stenoses showed a significantly poorer mean Glasgow Coma Scale score from day 3(9+/-4)to day 14(11+/-4)than patients without a stenosis(day 3:13+/-4,P<.01 by t test;day 14:14+/-1,P<.05).The mean Glasgow Outcome Scale score was not significantly different between both groups.The occurrence of mainly transient focal cerebral signs was significantly related to the number of narrowed vessels per patient(P<.05 x2 test).Stenoses of the intracranial arteries occur frequently in bacterial meningitis and are associated with a complicated course of the disease.
