Recurrent meningitis in children may be due to
immune deficiency, presence of indwelling devices in
the ventricular system or breakage of the
mucocutaneous barrier between skin and
cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). We report a child who
presented with recurrent meningitis and CSF
rhinorrhoea due to presence of a defect in the
cribriform plate.
