Listeria Rhombencephalitis and Cerebritis in an Immunocompetent Female (P11-10.009)

Rhombencephalitis consists of inflammation of the brainstem and cerebellum which can occur due to infectious, autoimmune or paraneoplastic etiologies. Among infectious etiologies, Listeria is the leading cause of infectious rhombencephalitis. Listeria can also cause cerebritis, more so in immunocompromised individuals. We present a case were an immunocompetent woman presented with both listeria rhombencephalitis and cerebritis.
