Abstract:
A 52-year-old woman with a history of at least 5 attacks of benign recurrent aseptic meningitis for the past 2 years is presented. Three of 5 attacks were afrebrile. In cerebrospinal fluid examinations, there was increased protein, normal or reduced glucose, and pleocytosis including endothelial cells, lymphocytes or leukocytes. Brain computed tomography revealed slight ventricular dilatation. No causative organism was found with available techniques. This is believed to be the first reported case of Mollaret's meningitis in Korea.
