Insights

Ventriculosubgaleal shunting effectively treats infectious hydrocephalus. However, syringomyelia may develop post-treatment due to persistent infection, inflammation, and altered cerebrospinal fluid dynamics.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Neurosurgery
  • Neurology
  • Infectious Diseases

Background:

  • Infectious hydrocephalus presents a significant challenge in pediatric neurosurgery.
  • Ventriculosubgaleal shunting is a recognized treatment modality for hydrocephalus.

Secondary Spinal Cord Injury llI: Pathophysiology

Early Ischemia and Ionic ImbalanceWithin minutes of spinal cord injury, a secondary cascade begins, progressing over hours to weeks. Vascular damage reduces blood flow, causing ischemia and mitochondrial dysfunction. ATP depletion leads to ion pump failure, membrane depolarization, sodium influx, potassium efflux, and water accumulation, resulting in cellular swelling. Increased intracellular calcium further disrupts mitochondria and accelerates cellular injury.Excitotoxicity and Neuronal...
