CNS infections Flashcards
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
____________________
modes of spread of infections to CNS
PHDL
Peripheral nerves
Hematogenous
Direct implanatitaon
Local extension
Local extneison from ?
Air sinuses
Infeceted tooth
Otistis media
surgery
Epidural and subdural abscess by?
staph + strept
Direct local spread form ajacent sinusitis or ostero,yleits mays cause
Epidural abscess
Infections from skull or air sinuses may spread to subdural space causing
Subdural empyema
Thrombophlebitis in veins crossing the subdural spave causing ?
Venous occlusion and brain infarction
Gross of CSF oa acute pyogenic menigitis
Increased CSF opened pressure
Turbid
Abundant neurtophlis and proteins decreased glucose
Microscopic aucte pyogenic meningitis
Subarachnoid space filled with Pus Neutrophils And fibrin
With dialted congested BVs
Comlication of pyogenic menigits ?
Septicemia then
Infective endocarditis
Acute adrenal insufficieny
cause water house fridrichsan syndomre with( shock - fever - sever cutanupus heges coma and death )
Local complications of Menigits ?
=Increased ICT causing Dmage to C346 and dipliopia squint and Ptosis
_______________________
=Encephalitis
=Thromobosis of blood vessels infaction
=Meninginal fibrosis occluding foramina of Magendi and Luchka
Causing:
in child : hydocephalus
in adults : Increased ICP and Cranial nerves 346 damage diplopa ptosis and squint
__________________________
2 inflammation+ fibrosis + pressure
Viral septic menigits CSF
Increased “ Lymphocytes”
ptoein normal or moderate elveation
normal glucose
increased pressure
_____________________
Gross and micro in viral menigits
Gross no cc
MIcro : Mild moderate infiltration of leptomenigies with lymphocytes
The Virus is commonly enterovirus
Graulomatous menigitis =
Tubeclosus mengigtis
fungal meningitits
In tubeculosus menigits
Subarachnoid space is filled with ?
Mostly at the …. of the brain obliterating the ,,,,, and encases ,,,,,,,,
Discerte white granules scattered on ………….
Geltainous exudate or fibrinous exudate

Cisterna and CNs

Leptomenigies
CSF in tubeculosus mingitis
MonoNuclear cells increased
Protein elevation
Glucose moderately odecreases
