MRI is the most sensitive modality to detect presence and extent of inflammatory changes in the meninges, as well as complications. MRI is better than CT in demonstrating leptomeningeal enhancement and distention of the subarachnoid space with widening of the interhemispheric fissure, which is reported to be an early finding in severe meningitis.
