EPIDEMIOLOGY-TBM Tuberculous Meningitis (TBM The younger the children, the more 'eadily to develop TBM. o 60%in Children aged 1-3 years ◆ Death rate:15-30%
2 EPIDEMIOLOGY - TBM Tuberculous Meningitis (TBM) ◆ The younger the children, the more readily to develop TBM. ◆ 60% in Children aged 1-3 years ◆ Death rate: 15-30%
TBM (Tuberculous meningitis) TBM is the most serious complication of tuberculosis in children and is usually fatal without treatment o tBM always be a part of systemic disseminated tuberculosis TBM often occurs within 1 vear of initial infection, especially in the first 2 to 6 months of infection
3 TBM (Tuberculous meningitis) ◆ TBM is the most serious complication of tuberculosis in children and is usually fatal without treatment. ◆ TBM always be a part of systemic disseminated tuberculosis. ◆ TBM often occurs within 1 year of initial infection, especially in the first 2 to 6 months of infection
PATHOPHYSIOLOGY Primary Bacteremia Com plex Brain Tuberculous B one Bacilli ☆ Lung Kidne Miliary TB Meningitis)(Subarachnoid Space Trauma/Diseases measles, pertussi Tuberculomas Brain or Spinal Cord Aerenchyma R 4
4 Tuberculous Bacilli Primary Complex Bacteremia Rich Foci Subarachnoid Space Brain or Spinal Cord Perenchyma Tuberculomas Meningitis PATHOPHYSIOLOGY Trauma/Diseases measles, pertussis Miliary TB
PATHOLOGICAL EFFECTS Meninges Diffuse Hyperemia ◆ Edema Inflammatory Exudates Conformation of Tubercles
5 PATHOLOGICAL EFFECTS Meninges ◆ Diffuse Hyperemia ◆ Edema ◆ Inflammatory Exudates ◆ Conformation of Tubercles
PATHOLOGICAL EFFECTS Subarachnoid Space a large amount of thick gelatinous exudates concentrate to the pavimentum cerebri, optic chiasma, bridge of varolius bulbus rhachidicus and sylvian fissure Basal meningitis accounts for the frequent dysfunction of cranial nerves III VI and vil
6 PATHOLOGICAL EFFECTS Subarachnoid Space ◆A large amount of thick gelatinous exudates concentrate to the pavimentum cerebri, optic chiasma, bridge of varolius, bulbus rhachidicus and Sylvian fissure. ◆ Basal meningitis accounts for the frequent dysfunction of cranial nerves III, VI, and VII
PATHOLOGICAL EFFECTS Cerebral Parenchyma Tuberculous meningoencephalitis swelling and hyperemia of the parenchyma contribute to the intracranial hypertension, the en ischemia of parenchyma occur, finally lead to the foci of encephalomalacia and necrosis Hemiplegia may be present because of this change o Meninges, spinal, and spinal nerve root also involvement. The later al ways leads to paraplegina
7 PATHOLOGICAL EFFECTS Cerebral Parenchyma Tuberculous meningoencephalitis ◆ swelling and hyperemia of the parenchyma contribute to the intracranial hypertension, then ischemia of parenchyma occur, finally lead to the foci of encephalomalacia and necrosis. Hemiplegia may be present because of this change. ◆ Meninges, spinal, and spinal nerve root also involvement. The later always leads to paraplegina
PATHOLOGICAL EFFECTS Cerebral vessels The bacteria invade the adventitia directly in the early stage and initiate the process of acute vasculitis Progressive destruction of adventitia disruption of elastic fibers, and finally intimal destruction(endarteritis). lead to the obliterative vasculitis, which may facilitate the ischemia, encephalomalacia and necrosis of parenchyma
8 PATHOLOGICAL EFFECTS Cerebral Vessels ◆The bacteria invade the adventitia directly in the early stage and initiate the process of acute vasculitis. ◆Progressive destruction of adventitia, disruption of elastic fibers, and finally intimal destruction (endoarteritis), lead to the obliterative vasculitis, which may facilitate the ischemia, encephalomalacia and necrosis of parenchyma
