This review summarizes the existing information on immune-related meningitis and the possibility of reintroducing immunotherapy after the development of central neurological side effects. To the best of our knowledge, there is little information in the literature to guide clinicians on decisions regarding whether immunotherapy should be continued after a neurological adverse event occurs, especially meningeal events. This review emphasizes the necessity of systematic examinations, steroid treatment (as a cornerstone of management) and the need for further exploratory studies to obtain a clearer understanding of how to better manage patients who experience these side effects. The findings summarized in this review can help provide guidance to practitioners who face this clinical situation.
