    AbstractThe etiology of hyperventilation is multifactorial. When excluding somatic causes, neurogenic hyperventilation must always be considered. Since hyperventilation itself causes neuromuscular symptoms such as paresthesia, vertigo, cephalgia, and nausea, the differential diagnosis of viral meningitis in the presence of hyperventilation is not always obvious and can easily be overlooked. Our case report shows that somatogenic causes of hyperventilation should be carefully excluded.© 2022.
