Hello and thank you for asking HCM,

I understand your concern. Complications can vary in severity from person to person, and can be temporary or permanent.
Usually, the more severe a meningitis infection is, it's more likely to get complications. Spastic paraparesis is a possible complication after meningitis.

I hope this answer was helpful to you.
