[Imaging of meningitis complications].
The authors describe the radiological pattern of meningitis neurological complications. These complications are vascular lesions, arteritis and thrombophlebitis, brain swelling, hydro-cephalus, extra-cerebral collections, neuritis and labyrinthitis. When meningitis complication is suspected, MRI must be the first neuroradiological investigation.
