Bacterial infections
Meningitis: 1. Acute Purulent (septic) meningitis:-meningitis: inflammation of arachnoid matter and
cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).- leptomeningitis: Inflammation of arachnoid + CSF +
pia matter.- pachymeningitis: inflammation of dura matter. - meningo-encephalitis: inflammation of meninges +
brain.

Aetiology
Responsible organisms vary with the age of the patient:
-E.coli: neonates. -Haemophilus influenza: infants & children. -Neisseria meningitides: adolescents &
young adults. -Pneumococcus: very young & old.

Acute Purulent (septic) meningitis:-meningitis:](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022071123/601f741182f73710cf10f8e7/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Pathogenesis:
In the first 24 hours, purulent exudate appears on the surface of the brain.
-Usually the superficial cortex is also infiltrated by polymorphs (ie. Meningo-encephalitis).
-Involvement of CSF pathways, leading to a ventriculitis and choroid plexitis (with neonatal infection).
In the second 24 hours leptomeningeal fibroblastic proliferation start with formation of fibrous adhesions between the meninges and brain, leading to occlusion of the exit foramina of the 4th ventricle and causes hydrocephalus.

Complications
1- Arterial thrombosis →→ Cerebral infarction.
2-Thrombophlebitis →→ Pyemia. 3- Adrenal haemorrhage du to septicemia.4- Fibrosis (gliosis).

Secondary brain tumors I - MTS
1. Carcinomas: Lung, breast, kidney and gastrointestinal tract carcinomas are the commonest.
2. Sarcomas. 3. Other malignancies include melanoma,
lymphoma, and leukemia. These tumors cells reach the brain via the
blood-stream MTS – to brain tissue, meninges, malignant
cells in CSF

20% of all tumors – tumors of childhood
More frequently malignant than in adults
The most frequent localisation - infratentorial (brain stem, cerebellum)

Benign vs malignant?
According histological structure biopsy - (cell atypia, mitotic activity,
abnormal mitosis)
Localisation !!! Benign tumors in brain stem or deep
structures – bad prognosis

without invading it.

Microscopic picture:
- Characteristic finding: whorls of proliferated menengiothelial cells (oval cells with pale cytoplasm and regular round nuclei).
-Some show central hyalinosis and calcification. The laminated calcified bodies, called psammoma
bodies. -The intervening stroma: richly vascularized or
fibroblastic -Types : psammomatous, fibroblastic, angioblastic,
secretory and clear cell menengioma.

Peripheral nerve sheath tumours
1. Schwannoma benign, curable, adults, arising from Schwann cells of cranial (8th) and spinal
nerves. - Slow growing with tendency to adhere to adjacent
tissues; and difficulties of surgical exposure make total resection impossible.
Grossly: - firm, grayish, capsulated mass at one side of the
nerve.

Microscopic picture: - one or both of these types: - Antoni type A: the schwann cells are spindle
shaped with elongated nuclei. The cells are arranges in parallel bundles, thus nuclei show a palisade pattern (Verrocay bodies).
- Antoni type B: The cells are larger, ovoid and haphazardly arranged. The stroma shows microcystic and myxomatous changes.

2. Neurofibroma
Types: - Superficial tumour: small soft pedunculated
nodules protruding from the skin. - Deep tumour; larger, resulting in diffuse tortuous
enlargement of peripheral nerves. Site: orbit,neck,back, inginal region. Grossly: - not capsulated, rubbery expansion of the affected
nerve.
