Topic
  • Edema of brain
  • Herniation
  • Hydrocephalous
  • Vascular diseases

4
Edema
  • Vasogenic edema Seen in case of abscess and
    Neoplasm.
  • Fluid accumulate in the interstitial space.
  • Cytotoxic Edema
  • intracellular fluid accumulation due to Hypoxic
    Cell Injury.

5
Edema complication
  • Herniation of brain matter in severe case.

6
  • Herniation

7
Herniation
  • Etiology
  • Due to mass effect.
  • Tumor, Trauma( blood clot),
  • Infection induced edema.

8
Types
  1. Transtentorial Herniation (uncal gyral )
  2. Subfalcine herniation (cingulate gyrus )
  3. Tonsillar Herniation

9
  • Transtentorial Herniation Uncus
  • Involved Brain Uncus medial portion of the
    temporal lobe
  • Cause A Mass in the temporal area.
  • Clinical effects
  • Posterior cerebral artery compression Occipital
    infarct.
  • Ipsilateral dilated pupil stretching of CN III

10
  • Subfalcine Herniation
  • (involve Cingulate gyrus )

11
Subfalcine herniation
Involved Brain cingulate gyrus Cause A Mass
in temporal/fontal(?) lobe Clinical effect
Anterior Cerebral Artery compression Weakness
and Sensory abnormality of the leg typically
occur with a Meningioma.

12
Tonsillar Herniation
  • Herniation of the cerebellar tonsil through
    foramen Magnum.
  • It is life threatening causes compression of
    the vital respiratory center.
  • Complication Secondary Brain stem or Duret
    hemorrhage.

13
Duret hemorrhage
  • Kinking of the penetrating median and paramedian
    pontine arteries a branch off the basilar
    artery.

Pons
Spinal cord
14
Secondary Brain stem or Duret hemorrhage
  • Causes
  • Tonsillar Herniation
  • Gliomas

15
  • Hydrocephalus

The Thinker
16
Hydrocephalus
  • Def Accumulation of excessive CSF within the
    Ventricular System.
  • Etiology
  • Decreased resorption of the CSF.
  • Overproduction of CSF (in a choroid plexus
    tumor-a papillary tumor in ventricle).

17
2 Types
  • 1. Non communicating Hydrocephalous. Obstruction
    within the ventricular system.
  • 2. Communicating Hydrocephalous. the obstruction
    is in the subarachnoid space or venous sinuses.

18
Non communicating Hydrocephalous (0bstructive)
Cause
  • Medulloblastoma,
  • Ependymoma

No communication between ventricles and
subarachonoid space.
19
Communicating Hydrocephalous.
  • Meningitis- adult.
  • Subarachnoid hemorrhage- obstruction in
    subarachnoid space (SAP)- adult

20
Hydrocephalous by meningitis
  • Early acute phage obstruction of the SAP by
    exudates.
  • Late chronic phage obstruction of the SAP by
    fibrosis.

21
Morphology of hydrocephalous
  • Infant Dilated ventricles, enlarged cranium
    (increase Head circumference), atrophy of cortex
    of brain.
  • Adult
  • Dilated ventricle, Atrophy of cortex, enlargement
    of cranium does not take place- dementia.

22
Child and adult
Sunset sign
23
Clinical features
  • Infants young children
  • Signs symptoms of increased ICP- irritability,
    impaired conscious level, and vomiting.
  • Adult
  • Early Signs symptoms of increased ICP- headache,
    vomiting, papilledema and deteriorating conscious
    level.
  • Late Dementia.

25
Vascular Diseases
  • GENERAL FEATURES
  • TYPES
  • ETIOPATHOLOGY
  • MORPHOLGY
  • CLINICAL FEARYRES WITH INVESTIGATIONS.

26
RISK FACTORS OF ISCHEMIC BRAIN INJURY
  • AGE
  • DURATION OF THE HYPOXIA
  • TEMPERATURE HYPOTHERMIA PROTECT HYPOXIC BRAIN
    DAMAGE

27
Three categories'
  1. Global Hypoxic Ischemic Encephalopathy.
  2. Local infarct 80 of the total
  3. Hemorrhage.

28
A. Global Hypoxic Ischemic Encephalopathy.
  • It occur when the systolic blood pressure goes
  • below 50mmHg.
  • Cause
  • Cardiac arrest (due to myocardial infarct,
    cardiac arrhythmias),
  • Aspiration of foreign objects, drowning.
  • Early feature border zone infract
  • Late features Laminar cortical necrosis

29
Border zone infarct Watershed infarct May
follows a Hypotensive episode.
Lesion lies at the boundary between the anterior
and middle cerebral artery territories.
30
Morphology Global Hypoxic Ischemic
Encephalopathy.
  • Laminar cortical necrosis A LINEAR ZONE OF
    SOFTENING DISCOLORATION IN THE CORTICAL MANTLE.

31
B. Infarct
  • Caused by Local obstruction in blood vessels.
  • Thromboembolism and other embolisms
  • HAEMORRHAGE, Atheroma
  • Hypertension
  • Risk hypertension, smoking, diabetes mellitus.
  • Most common form called Strokes.
  • Age 7th Decades
  • Sex Male gt Female.

32
Thrombo-embolism
  • Most common in Middle cerebral Artery.
  • Source of emboli
  • Mural thrombus in the left ventricle of the
    heart,
  • Atherosclerotic plaques involving more proximal
    arteries (especially the carotid arteries).

33
Description of Morphological Changes of brain
infarct.
  • Microscopical changes
  • After 12 hours Red neuron and neutrophils
    infiltration.
  • 36 to 48 hours Non-hemorrhagic or hemorrhagic
    infarct (due to reperfusion).
  • By 10 days liquefaction occur presence of
    macrophages and surrounding reactive gliosis.
  • 1 6 months a cystic cavity will form (remote
    infarct).

34

35
Liquefactive necrosis
Tissue shows macrophage and microglial
proliferation in this time. CT shows enhancing
lesion.
36
Remote infarct ( cavity )
37
Remote infarct ( cavity )
  • In the wall of the cavity shows reactive
    astrocytes with reactive gliosis.
  • An CT would show enhancing shadow.

38
Shower embolizationMultiple small hemorrhage
fat embolism, amniotic fluid embolism
39
Lacunar infarcts
Hypertension induced infarct
Site The pons.

What are the signs infarction?
Clinical features
  1. TIA transient ischemic attack persists lt 24
    hours.
  2. Stroke gt24 hours
  3. Sudden numbness or weakness on one side of the
    face, arm or leg .
  4. Sudden trouble speaking or understanding.
  5. Sudden trouble seeing.

41
Clinical Features If middle cerebral Artery is
effected.
  • Contralateral hemiparesis and spasticity.
  • Visual Field abnormality
  • In some case speech aphasia.
