Meningitis due to Escherichia coli is rare, and generally observed in very particular circumstances, such as neonatal period, anatomical anomalies or in immune-deficient patients. CASE REPORT: A 16-month-old male infant was admitted for acute meningitis. E coli was detected in the cerebro-spinal fluid (CSF). As appropriate antibiotic treatment proved inefficient, a cerebral computerised tomography (CT) scan was performed, revealing an epidermoid cyst of the posterior fossa. The cyst was resected after CSF sterilisation. Postoperative recovery was satisfactory. CONCLUSION: When an unusual bacterial species such as E coli is detected in CSF, the authors suggest consideration of a cutaneous or ETN focus, or a congenital malformation with communication between cutaneous and meningeal structures.
