Abstract

Malignant meningitis may rarely present to the otolaryngologist. We report our experience with 3 patients presenting with sudden, progressive bilateral sensorineural hearing loss secondary to malignant meningitis. The primary tumour in all 3 cases was oesophageal adenocarcinoma. All 3 cases were notable for the rapidity of the patients’ clinical deterioration; the interval from presentation to death ranged from 21 to 28 days. We suggest that otolaryngologists should remain vigilant to the possibility of this devastating diagnosis and have a low threshold for further investigation in patients with suspicious features. It is important to note that initial MRI and lumbar puncture may be negative and repeat testing should be undertaken if there is clinical suspicion.
