Brain stem meningitis and purulent encephalitis which serious

First of all, the location of brainstem meningitis has been fixed, that is, brainstem, and purulent encephalitis if it shows complications, such as subdural effusion, ventriculomeningitis, hydrocephalus, cerebral hypotension and so on, but if ventriculomeningitis clinically shows crisis symptoms, frequent convulsions, vomiting, headaches, and even central respiratory failure, this case and brainstem meningitis are equally serious. Specific to see the clinical manifestations, because brainstem meningitis is generally more serious, there are some nerves above the brainstem, there are respiratory centers, clinical conditions are generally more serious, but to compare with some complications of purulent encephalitis, may be the same serious or more serious.
