A 2 yo boy was just admitted to the hospital because of a convulsion 6 h ago followed by coma. The ER doctor ordered a CT scan with contrst that showed enhancement of the basal cisterns by the contrast material. No other history is available. The most likely diagnosis is:
A. Battered child syndrome
B. malformation of the vein of Galen
C. Meningococcal meningitis
D. TB meningitis
E. Eastern equine encephalitis
