Abstract

After considering the causes of chronic meningitis, we present a group of 7 patients who suffered a relatively benign chronic lymphocytic meningitis without focal neurological signs, and with a normal glucose concentration in the CSF. The illness lasted from 32 weeks to more than 10 years. Extensive investigations failed to reveal any cause. The illness was self-limiting in 6 out of 7 cases, but in 1 patient it is continuing after 10 years. Without speculation about the cause or causes, it appears useful to recognize the existence of such a chronic mengitis, in the hope that study of further cases will be stimulated.
