Anatomy of the Brain: Ventricles01:18

Anatomy of the Brain: Ventricles

10.4K
There are hollow fluid-filled cavities known as ventricles deep inside the human brain. There are two lateral ventricles, one in each cerebral hemisphere, and each has three different projections — the anterior, inferior, and posterior horns visible from the lateral side. A thin membrane called the septum pellucidum separates the two lateral ventricles. The slender third ventricle in the diencephalon is connected to each lateral ventricle via a channel called the interventricular foramen.

Aneurysm II: Clinical Manifestations and Diagnostic Studies

593
Thoracic, aortic arch and abdominal aneurysms are significant vascular conditions that can present with various clinical manifestations and lead to serious complications. Understanding these manifestations and the appropriate diagnostic studies is essential for effective management and treatment.Thoracic Aortic AneurysmsThoracic aortic aneurysms often remain asymptomatic until they reach a size that impinges on adjacent structures. They typically cause deep, diffuse chest pain that radiates to...

Brain Abscess l: Introduction01:26

Brain Abscess l: Introduction

48
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...

Increased Intracranial Pressure l: Introduction

31
Intracranial hypertension is a sustained elevation of intracranial pressure (ICP) above 22 mm Hg. In supine adults, normal ICP is ~7–15 mm Hg.The rigid, nonexpandable cranium contains three components—brain tissue, blood, and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)—that total ~1,700 mL in a typical adult: 1,400 mL brain (~80%), 150 mL blood (~10%), and 150 mL CSF (~10%). According to the Monro–Kellie doctrine, total intracranial volume is effectively fixed. When one component...

Cerebral Edema l: Introduction01:19

Cerebral Edema l: Introduction

35
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...

Cerebral Edema ll: Pathophysiology01:22

Cerebral Edema ll: Pathophysiology

31
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...

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Neurosurgery
  • Neuro-oncology
  • Cystic Brain Lesions

Background:

  • Glioependymal cysts are uncommon intracranial lesions.
  • They are particularly rare in pediatric populations.
  • This case highlights a unique presentation in an adolescent.

Observation:

  • A 12-year-old male presented with acute headache.
  • MRI revealed a third ventricular cyst obstructing the foramen of Monro.
  • The cyst was thin-walled.

Findings:

  • Endoscopic fenestration and biopsy were performed.
  • Histopathology confirmed a glioependymal cyst.
  • The patient remained asymptomatic at 13-month follow-up with no recurrence.

Implications:

  • This case is the first reported glioependymal cyst in an adolescent.
  • It demonstrates the efficacy of endoscopic management for such lesions in this age group.
  • Further research into pediatric glioependymal cysts is warranted.
