Brain Abscess l: Introduction

Brain Abscess l: Introduction

A brain abscess is a focal, intracerebral infection characterized by a localized collection of pus within the brain parenchyma, resulting from microbial invasion and the body’s inflammatory response. It progresses through stages: early and late cerebritis, followed by early and late capsule formation, reflecting tissue destruction, immune response, and eventual encapsulation.Etiology and PathogenesisCausative organisms vary with source and host factors, often involving polymicrobial infections,...

Cerebral Edema ll: Pathophysiology

Cerebral Edema ll: Pathophysiology

Vasogenic edema is a major form of cerebral edema characterized by abnormal accumulation of fluid in the brain’s extracellular space due to disruption of the blood–brain barrier (BBB). The BBB is a specialized structure composed of endothelial cells connected by tight junctions, supported by astrocytic endfeet and a basement membrane. Under normal conditions, it tightly regulates the movement of ions, proteins, and solutes between the bloodstream and brain parenchyma. When this barrier loses...

Cerebral Edema l: Introduction

Cerebral Edema l: Introduction

Cerebral edema is a pathological increase in brain water content that disrupts intracranial pressure regulation and impairs neurological function. Because the cranial vault is rigid, even modest increases in tissue volume can compromise cerebral perfusion, distort neural structures, and initiate secondary injury. Cerebral edema develops through four principal mechanisms: vasogenic, cytotoxic, interstitial, and ionic.Vasogenic EdemaVasogenic edema arises from disruption of the blood–brain...

Background:

Lateral skull masses, including lipomas and epidermoids, are relatively common.
Meningoceles of the lateral skull are rare and frequently misdiagnosed.
Atretic encephaloceles in this region are exceptionally rare.

Observation:

A case report of a newborn presenting with a right atretic encephalocele at the asterion is described.
The lesion involved the lateral skull region.

Findings:

Atretic encephalocele is a rare congenital abnormality.
Differential diagnosis for anterolateral and posterolateral fontanelle lesions should include lateral cephaloceles/encephaloceles.

Implications:

Increased awareness of atretic encephaloceles is crucial for accurate diagnosis.
Understanding the embryology of these rare entities aids in diagnosis and management.
This case underscores the need for a broad differential diagnosis in neonatal skull masses.
