Abstract:
Congenital cranial dermal sinus is one of the causes of meningitis in pediatric patients. In spite of its rarity, this entity should be considered when a child has meningitis of unexplained origin. Authors report a case of congenital cranial dermal sinus in a 15 month old girl who presented with recurrent meningitis.
