Popis:	Meningitis after spinal and epidural anaesthesia is rare but serious complication which requires early diagnosis and treatment. We report two cases of probable chemical meningitis, which developed within few hours after subarachnoid block. CSF pattern was suggestive of chemical meningitis. Both the patients recovered next day without any neurological sequelae. Meningitis should always be considered as a differential diagnosis in patients having post spinal headache, convulsions and changes in mental status. Despite thorough knowledge and practice of aseptic technique, aseptic meningitis can occur.
