The medical team at Al-Mouwasat Hospital in Al-Khobar ended the suffering of a 4-year-old and six-month-old child suffering from fever, stiff neck, headache, frequent vomiting, and bouts of a runny nose extending from three years back. After the medical examination and initial laboratory tests, it was confirmed that the child had acute bacterial meningitis, and this infection is the result of the child’s previous suffering from recurrent meningitis in the brain, which in turn led to his admission several times previously to intensive care in hospitals for treatment.

The child was immediately placed in the pediatric intensive care unit in the hospital and the child was treated for 14 days according to international medical protocols used in the treatment of meningitis.

After the previous successful treatment, the medical team treating the child under the supervision of Dr. Mohamed Abdel Hai, Consultant Pediatric Neurologist at Al-Mouwasat Hospital in Al-Khobar, decided to request a brain scan with CT scan and magnetic resonance imaging of the brain with dye, given the patient’s history of recurring runny nose and recurrent meningitis, which is likely to be As a result of the brain parenchyma hernia and the leakage of cerebrospinal fluid from it, and indeed the required rays have proven the hernia of the brain parenchyma through a congenital defect in the base of the skull, specifically in the area of ​​the right sinus, which led to the emergence of an ethmoid-shaped brain in this area with a leak of cerebrospinal fluid from it, which explains the child’s suffering many years of meningitis and frequent runny nose.

Praise be to God, and his success, the child was treated, recovered, and was discharged from the hospital in good health.
