Giant retinal tear is seen in association with Stickler's syndrome, Marfan syndrome, homocystinurea and after ocular trauma. Although bacterial meningitis(1) is not common since the advent of various antibiotics, meningococcus is the second most common cause of bacterial meningitis. Endogenous endophthalmitis(2) remains a challenge to clinicians despite the success of antibiotics in reducing its frequency and severity. The association of giant retinal tear and meningococcal endogenous endophthalmitis is not yet reported in the literature. We report here on a 14-year-old girl who developed a giant retinal tear after meningococcal meningitis and endogenous endophthalmitis, and we discuss the possible factors of its cause.

We reported a 46-year-old woman with Marfan's syndrome exhibiting an incomplete Currarino triad and recurrent bacterial meningitis which recurred three times in about six months. An anterior sacral meningocele (ASM) was noted in a lumbar MRI, and multiple bone defects in the sacrum were noted in 3D-CT. Surgical approach to prevent the recurrence of infection was limited to plasty for the meningocele, but no meningitis has been observed for two years. Radical surgery should be considered in cases with ASM who recurred bacterial meningitis.

Rare in the general public, dural ectasia is a common finding in patients with Marfan syndrome. Complications are not frequent but include constipation, urinary retention, and meningitis. Presented here is a case of bacterial meningitis secondary to fistulous communication between a sacral meningocele and sigmoid colon in the setting of diverticulitis.
