The analysis of the clinical, laboratory and roentgenological symptoms of 15 patients with the recurrent course of suppurative meningitis and nasal liquorrhea (11 patients) has made it possible to establish that the main factors underlying this disease include craniocerebral trauma, the formation of liquor fistulas and focal infection in the adnexal sinuses. It has been shown that surgery is the cardinal and radical method of treatment determining the disease prognosis.
