leptomeningitis
Leptomeningitis is a condition characterized by inflammation of the leptomeninges, which are the two innermost layers of membrane that cover the brain and spinal cord. This inflammation is usually caused by a bacterial or viral infection. Symptoms may include fever, headache, neck stiffness, and neurological deficits. It's a serious condition that requires immediate medical attention, as it can potentially lead to severe complications, including brain damage or death.
