meningism
Meningism is the triad of nuchal rigidity (neck stiffness), photophobia (intolerance of bright light) and headache. It is a sign of irritation of the meninges, such as seen in meningitis, subarachnoid hemorrhages and various other diseases. ''"Meningismus"'' is the term used when the above listed symptoms are present without actual infection or inflammation; usually it is seen in concordance with other acute illnesses in the pediatric population.〔(ICD9Data.com ) - Diagnosis Codes, Meningismus〕 Related clinical signs include Kernig's sign and three signs all named Brudzinski's sign.
== Signs and symptoms ==
The main clinical signs that indicate meningism are ''nuchal rigidity'', ''Kernig's sign'' and ''Brudzinski's signs''. None of the signs are particularly sensitive; in adults with meningitis, nuchal rigidity was present in 30% and Kernig's or Brudzinski's sign only in 5%.
