On presentation ofStaphylococcus aureusendocarditis, unusual manifestations may represent the main clinical features of the disease. Isolated bacterial meningitis as the first manifestation of endocarditis is considered to be an unusual neurological complication. Here, we describe a caseS. aureusendocarditis presenting as isolated meningitis and mimicking meningococcal septicaemia. Because of the high mortality rate of the disease, the prompt recognition of this infectious syndrome is of crucial importance for the correct management of patients.

Abstract A case of hematogenous Staphylococcus aureus osteomyelitis isolated to the 2nd cervical vertebra is presented. To our knowledge, this is the second case to be reported of hematogenous infection involving only the body and odontoid process of the axis. The first report was published prior to the advent of computed tomography, bone scans, and halo orthosis. The pathophysiology of blood-borne atlantoaxial infection is described, as well as methods of diagnostic evaluation and therapeutic recommendations. The use of computed tomography to define the extent of the lesion is illustrated.
