Abstract

In case of no head trauma history and intact immunity, adultonset recurrent bacterial meningitis is scarce. Parameningeal infection is the crucial latent cause of recurrent bacterial meningitis in adults. Nasal polyp can cause a variety of nasal symptoms, depending on its location and size. Chronic sinusitis with nasal polyp tends to have more severe symptoms than those without nasal polyp. We report a case of adult onset third recurrent bacterial meningitis associated with inflammatory nasal polyp.
