IS A MORNING HEADACHE WHICH
RESPONDS TO SIMPLE ANALGESIA. ITDOES NOT INDICATETYPE OF PROBLEM

INCREASE IN THE INTRACRANIAL PRESSURE
• SYMPTOMS:• HEADACHE• VOMITING• INCREASE IN THE
SIZE OF THE HEAD
THIS OCCURSONLY IN CHILDREN
BECAUSE THECRANIAL SUTURESHAVE NOT UNITED
YET.

IRRITATION OF THE AREA
THIS LEADS TO EPILEPSY IF THE LESION IS ON THESURFACE OF THECEREBRUM. THE
CORTEXMUST BE IRRITATED
TO PRODUCE EPILEPSY
THERE ARE MANY FORMS OF EPILEPSY:
GRAND MALPETIT MALPARTIAL COMPLEXETC.
EPILEPSY MAY LEAD TO: SUFFOCATIONTEMPORARY PARALYSIS

OBSTRUCTION OF CSF PATHWAYS
WILL LEAD TO DILATATION OF THE VENTRICULAR SYSTEM AND SIGNS AND
SYMPTOMS OF INCREASED INTRACRANIAL PRESSURE.

DILATED VENTRICLES
SEEPAGE OF CSF
04/08/23 FOURTH YEAR LECTURE 47
OBSTRUCTION OF CSF PATHWAYS
IN INFANTS AND LITTLE CHILDERN IT WILL
LEAD TO ENLARGMENT OF
THE HEAD DUE TO THE FACT THAT SUTURES
ARE NOT CLOSED.
HYDROCEPHALUS COULD BE OBSTRUCTIVE OR
COMMUNICATING

OBSTRUCTION OF CSF PATHWAYS
BESIDE ENLARGMENT OF THE HEAD,DILATATION OF THE VENTRICULAR
SYSTEMWILL LEAD TO DETERIORATION OF THE
LEVEL OF CONSCIOUSNESS.
ASSESSMENT OF THE LOC IS DONE GENERALLY
BY THE USE OF THE GLASGOW COMA SCALE(GCS)

OBSTRUCTION OF CSF PATHWAYS
THE GLASGOW COMA SCALE
Points Eye Opening Best Verbal Response Best Motor Response
