| Popis: | Summary The results of skull x-ray examinations of 101 children recovered from tuberculous meningitis are reported. The roentgenological re-examinations were performed 6—12 1/2 years after the disease, and were repeated later in several cases. Intra-cranial calcifications were found in 26 per cent. Of these, 4 children showed extensive calcified plots, including 1 with intracerebral calcifications. The occurrence of intracranial calcified plots was not correlated with the sex, the duration of meningeal symptoms prior to hospitalization, or the treatment of the patients; nor was it correlated with increased intracranial pressure during the disease or with the late mental and otological sequelae of the disease. Positive correlations were, however, found between the development of intracranial calcifications and the age at the onset of the disease, the state on admission, trephination, occurrence of convulsions and late neurological, EEG and ophthalmological sequelae. |
