Abstract
Abstract Benign recurrent meningitis, also known as Mollaret’s meningitis (MM), is characterized by recurrent headache, fever, meningeal irritation and sterility of cerebrospinal fluid examination, which is rare in clinic. Although with clear diagnostic criteria, there are still many unclear aspects of its pathogenesis, and treatment of this disease. The author reported a case of benign recurrent aseptic meningitis, who had three episodes of acute headache with or without fever. The patient was treated with ceftriaxone, acyclovir and cefazoxime for the first time, cefazoxime, cefimidazole and mebendazole for the second time, and piperacillin and acyclovir for the third time. The results showed that the patient did not recover completely in the first two times and fully recovered at the third time. Based on the current research, the author believes that for MM, mainly symptomatic relief, indomethacin should be recommended, and too much antiviral treatment is not needed.
