| Abstract: | Introduction Intracranial vascular complications are an important complication of acute bacterial meningitis. Ischemic stroke in meningitis
is reported as a result of vasculitis, vasospasm, endocarditis or intraarterial thrombosis. The aim of the study was to identify
the value of measuring cerebral blood flow velocity (CBFv) on transracranial doppler (TCD) in the identification of patients
at risk for meningitis-associated stroke. |
