Coma in Fulminant Pneumococcal Meningitis:New MRI Observations
Neurol 51:1200-1202, Vernino,S.,et al, 1998
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
We report a 45-year-old man with fulminant pneumococcal meningitis. Fluid attenuated inverse ratio MR images showed the ravaging consequences of occlusive vasculopathy and a transient purulent basal exudate. Bilateral thalamic lesions may have explained the failure to awaken despite appropriate antibiotic therapy.
