We report the case of an immunocompetent patient who has been the subject of 39 episodes of recurrent pneumococcal meningitis over a 20 year period. The recurrences of bacterial meningitis due to cerebrospinal fluid leakage and the presence of chronic sinusitis were not influenced by the surgical repair of a fistula and the repeated surgical draining interventions on suppurating chronic sinusital foci. Phenoxymethylpenicillin treatment reduced the number of recurrences and the combination of pneumococcal vaccine and penicillin prophylaxis allowed a 5 year period free of any recurrences.
