meningoencephalitis

encephalomeningitis; inflammation of the brain and its meninges. Most meningoencephalitides in animals are bacterial and combine the fever, pain and rigidity of a meningitis with the tremor, convulsions and paralysis of an encephalitis. Localizing signs such as circling, falling to one side, unilateral facial paralysis and Jacksonian type seizures are more common than in a viral encephalitis.
