I am not saying this to be flippant or ignorant.

I was born with a ventricular brain aneurysm in May'67 and, the aneurysm caused my Hydrocephalus. The first nine years of my life, were spent in hospitals, hospital ORs' and stuck at home. I didn't go to school that much because of my Hydrocephalus back then. The only thing I get now is x-rays and/or CT-Scans(I can't have MRIs' because of metal clips on the aneurysm) and/or EEGs' every five years since my Hydrocephalus has seemingly stabilized.

As for the possibility of meningitis, that needs to be determined ASAP, because meningitis regardless of the cause, is dangerous in and of itself.
