ABSTRACT
We report the case of a 69-year-old man with bacterial meningitis who presented with ataxie optique in the peripheral part of the left visual field in both hands. A detailed neurological examination with contrast-enhanced brain MRI in the early stage of the clinical course identified a small subdural abscess and pialitis in the right parietal area. A favorable outcome was obtained with antibiotic therapy alone. In a case with higher brain dysfunction of unknown cause in the clinical course of bacterial meningitis, a detailed neurological examination may be helpful to identify the causative site.
