✦ Synopsis
Recurrent bacterial meningitis (RBM), particularly when caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae, warrants an aggressive and thorough evaluation to exclude transdural communication. We present an unusual case of RBM as a late manifestation of a traumatic head injury sustained 10 years prior and describe presentation, etiology, diagnosis, and treatment options for RBM.
