Abstract
Despite antibiotics, meningitis still remains a life threatening infection. Meningitis is the most common intracranial complication of acute otitis media. Recurrent meningitis associated with acute otitis media suggests leaking labyrinthine lesions between the middle ear and the cerebrospinal fluid. If recurrent meningitis is thought to be otitic in origin, multidirectional polytomography or high-resolution computed tomography scanning of the temporal bone should be performed to look for a defect. he authors experienced 3 patients with leaking labyrinthine lesions(Mondini dysplasia, post-brain tumor surgery, post-traumatic lesion) developing recurrent meningitis and presented these cases with review of literatures.
