Abstract:
:Recurrent aseptic meningitis in a 35-year-old caucasian woman is described. She had many attacks over a period of 9 years. The first attack occurred after travel in the tropics. In spite of extensive examinations no cause could be found for the recurrent attacks. Both the clinical presentation and characteristics of the cerebrospinal fluid are compatible with the diagnosis of Mollaret's meningitis. There is no known cure for this condition, although colchicine and indomethacin have been mentioned to relieve symptoms. In our patient, a treatment with indomethacin during the last attack resulted in a clear and rapid improvement of symptoms. Since this episode only mild relapses have occurred, all of which responded well to the same treatment. This case highlights the long time span in which attacks of Mollaret's meningitis can occur, and the spectacular benefit of indomethacin.
