Abstract
Cells, originally called “endothelial” cells, have been described in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of patients developing recurrent aseptic meningitis (Mollaret's meningitis). In an attempt at better establishing their nature, a 6-year-old child was followed for a period of 3½ years. A cytological light microscopic and ultrastructural study was performed on samples of the CSF obtained during 17 attacks. The findings are presented, and the relationship of Mollaret's meningitis to intracranial epidermoid cysts is discussed.
