Bilateral haemorrhagic basal ganglia infarction associated with early-onset group B streptococcus meningitis

A 2-day-old infant presented with poor feeding and grunting. Investigations revealed a raised C reactive protein of 164. Full septic screen was done, which subsequently confirmed a diagnosis of group B streptococcus meningitis. Baby was apyrexial and haemodynamically stable. There were no obvious neurological manifestations, and a routine cranial ultrasound scan was done, which revealed echogenic changes in the basal ganglia and thalami. MRI brain showed extensive haemorrhagic infarction within the lentiform and caudate nuclei with involvement of both posterior limbs of the internal capsule. This was followed by triventricular hydrocephalus needing shunt procedure. The clinical course was complicated by infantile spasms, which were treated with vigabatrin and steroids and subsequent global developmental delay and cerebral palsy.
