Abstract
The cases with meningitis that is unresponsive to conventional antibiotic therapy, recurrent bacterial meningitis or detection of an atypical pathogenic organism should suggest congenital neuroectodermal defects and a detailed physical examination should be done. Because of the failure of the antibiotic therapy in a patient, a careful physical examination was done and a dermal sinus was detected. In his follow-up, the presence of a intraspinal abscess and an infected dermoid cyst due to hemolytic streptococci were detected.
Ampirik antibiyotik tedavisine cevapsız menenjit vakaları, tekrarlayan bakteriyel menenjit yada atipik patojen organizmanın tespit edilmesi durumunda konjenital nöroektodermal defektler düşünülmeli ve ayrıntılı bir fizik muayene yapılmalıdır. Antibiyotik tedavisinin başarısızlığa uğradığı bir hastada dikkatli bir fizik muayene yapıldı ve dermal sinüs tespit edildi. İzleminde intraspinal abse ve hemolitik streptokoklar ile infekte dermoid kist varlığı gösterildi.
