This document discusses various clinical aspects of meningitis including:
1. Developmental issues like meningocele and meningomyelocele. Infectious causes such as meningitis, subdural empyema, and epidural abscess. Traumatic causes like epidural and subdural hemorrhages.
2. Vascular disorders including subarachnoid hemorrhage, dural venous sinus thrombosis, and dural arteriovenous fistulas. Disorders of CSF pressure like low pressure from spontaneous intracranial hypotension or high pressure from hydrocephalus.
3. Tumors affecting the meninges like meningiomas and secondary deposits from other cancers.
Vascular crowding in the ventricle of brain is the chorioid plexus, the primary function of which is to secrete CSF has immensely diverse function which is still the huge scope in neuroscience exploration.

This presentation discusses cranial hemorrhage in a newborn baby. We have included extracranial and intracranial bleed discussion in neonates. Intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) is further discussed in details in terms of pathophysiology, management strategies and clinical studies related to it.
Hope this presentation is helpful for the knowledge and practice of medical students, pediatricians and neonatologists and helps in practical management of your NICU babies as well.

position, improves in recumbent position)
Imaging:

28. Hydrocephalus is an abnormal increase in the volume of the CSF within the skull.
It is due to one of the following:
(1) an abnormal increase in the formation of the fluid,
(2) blockage of the circulation of the fluid,
(3) diminished absorption of the fluid.
Types:
1. Non-communicating/ Obstructive
(blockage at some point between its formation at the choroid plexuses and its exit
through the foramina in the roof of the fourth ventricle.)
2. Communicating.
29.
30.
31.
32. Bleeding occurs between the dura mater and skull.
Cause:
Trauma to the head causing arterial bleeding.

> Altered level of consciousness
> Pupillary abnormality
> Respiratory arrest.
33.
34. Bleeding occurs between dura and arachnoid mater.
More common in elderly.
Predisposing factors:
1. cerebral atrophy causing stretching of bridging veins.
2. Alcoholism
3. Coagulation disorder.
C/F:
1. Fluctuating level of consciousness.
2. Dementia.
3. Features of raised ICP.
35.
36.
37. Arises from the dura mater.
Composed of meningeal epithelial cells.
