meningism

A Brudzinski's sign is one of three medical signs, all of which may occur in meningism.

Confusion, decreased level of consciousness or coma may be present, as may neck stiffness and other signs of meningism.

Other signs of meningism include the presence of positive Kernig's sign or Brudziński sign.

Patients present with headache, nausea, meningism, dysacusia (discomfort caused by loud noises or a distortion in the quality of the sounds being heard) and tinnitus.

Initially, the infected patients experience symptoms such as: severe headaches, delirium, lethargy, meningism, bradykinesia, and incoordination.

Kemerovo tickborne viral fever is an aparalytic febrile illness accompanied by meningism following tick-bite.

The main clinical signs that indicate meningism are nuchal rigidity, Kernig's sign and Brudzinski's signs.

Some suggest that Hippocrates may have realized the existence of meningitis, and it seems that meningism was known to pre-Renaissance physicians such as Avicenna.

In subarachnoid hemorrhage, there may be syncope (transient loss of consciousness), seizures, meningism (neck pain and stiffness), visual symptoms, and vomiting.

Almost all patients with cerebral cysticercosis experience CNS side effects related to the cell-death of the parasites (headache, worsening of pre-existing neurological problems, seizures, arachnoiditis, and meningism).

The patient with meningococcal meningitis typically presents with high fever, meningism (stiff neck), Kernig's sign, severe headache, vomiting, purpura, photophobia, and sometimes chills, altered mental status, or seizures.

Infection: immediate within six hours of the spinal anaesthetic manifesting as meningism or meningitis or late, at the site of injection, in the form of pus discharge, due to improper sterilization of the LP set.

Headache with fever may be caused by meningitis, particularly if there is meningism (inability to flex the neck forward due to stiffness), and confusion may be indicative of encephalitis (inflammation of the brain, usually due to particular viruses).
