Abstract
Eleven children admitted to a hospital with H. influenzae meningitis had computed tomographic head scans during the acute stage of the illness. Of the 11, 10 had at least one other scan between 2 wk and 30 mo. later. The changes seen in the scans were evaluated in relation to the development of the ilness, especially with reference to subdural effusions and communicating hydrocephalus. The early scans had no significance in predicting clinical outcome. A temporary developmental lag occurred in those children with subdural effusions, transient communicating hydrocephalus and without permanent neurological deficit.
