How do you get Ventriculitis?

Ventriculitis is an inflammation of the ventricles in the brain, often caused by infections such as meningitis or by the presence of bacteria, viruses, or fungi. It can also occur as a complication of neurosurgery or the placement of ventricular catheters. Symptoms may include fever, headache, altered mental status, and neurological deficits. Prompt diagnosis and treatment are crucial to prevent serious complications.
