An 51-year-old man had undergone surgery for Rathke's cleft cyst by transsphenoidal approach on October 2015. After the surgery, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) rhinorrhea arose. Surgical treatment of CSF rhinorrhea was performed by the same approach. Ten days after reoperation, he suffered from severe headache, high fever, and nuchal rigidity. CSF findings indicated bacterial meningitis. CSF culture showed methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus lugdunensis. He received vancomycin intravenously for 19 days and recovered from the bacterial meningitis with no serious complication.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
