If the patient has meningitis, especially purulent meningitis, purulent exudate is easy to block the narrow channels or adhesion, resulting in cerebrospinal circulation disorder and hydrocephalus. There are also some cases that are more common in newborns and small infants when the treatment is not timely or inappropriate, and adhesion can hinder the circulation of cerebrospinal fluid, thus causing obstructive hydrocephalus.

Due to the infection of meningitis, the hypophysis can cause hyponatremia due to excessive secretion of antidiuretic hormone *. If meningitis affects the corresponding cerebral artery due to inflammation and infection, it will cause cerebral vasculitis, which will easily lead to cerebral infarction or cerebral ischemia.

If meningitis, especially purulent meningitis, is easy to cause meningeal adhesion and brain parenchyma damage, resulting in cranial nerve paralysis, blindness, hearing impairment, limb paralysis, epilepsy and mental retardation and other sequelae.
