Benigh Reccurent Lymphocytic Meningitis (Mollaret Meningitis): a Case Report

Abstract

The article reports a clinical case of a patient with four recurring episodes of headache, nausea and focal neurological symptoms (hemiparesis, sensorimotor aphasia, adversive epileptic seizures) with a rapid onset of remission. The clinical picture of the disease was supplemented with lymphocytic pleocytosis and cell-protein dissociation in the cerebrospinal fluid, which allowed to diagnose benign recurrent lymphocytic meningitis (Mollaret meningitis) and to conduct pathogenetic therapy. The aim of this work is to improve the diagnosis of rare Mollaret meningitis.
