Case Number: 88ABW , 3 May
12 Meningoencephalitis Aseptic meningitis (tissue surrounding the central nervous system) vs. meningoencephalitis (parenchyma involved) Any alteration of cognitive function, obtundation, focal neurological deficit, or complicated course is by definition aeromedically considered meningoencephalitis Diagnosis supported by: CSF with mild pleocytosis ( cell/mm 3 predominance of mononuclear or polymorphonuclear cells) Culture: normal-mildly elevated protein, normal-slightly depressed glucose Distribution A: Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited. Case Number: 88ABW , 3 May
13 Meningoencephalitis Etiologies include: viral, bacterial, fungal, parasitic, neoplastic, vasculitic, and immune entities Viral etiology is the most common in U.S. more than all the others combined Common viral etiologies for encephalitis: H. simplex type 1 Arboviruses (St. Louis, Japanese encephalitis) West Nile Distribution A: Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited. Case Number: 88ABW , 3 May

19 Hydrocephalus "water in the brain" -- Greek words ὑδρο- (hydro-) "water", and κέφαλος (kephalos) "head" Described in 1000 AD by the Arab surgeon Abulcasis The skull of a newborn baby is often full of liquid, either because the matron has compressed it excessively or for other, unknown reasons What we know today Distribution A: Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited. Case Number: 88ABW , 3 May
20 Hydrocephalus Excessive accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) CSF originates in the choroid plexus (60-80%) and cerebral tissue Circulates through the ventricular system into the subarachnoid space Absorbed by the systemic venous circulation primarily across the arachnoid villi into the venous channels of the major sinuses Distribution A: Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited. Case Number: 88ABW , 3 May
21 Hydrocephalus Excessive accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) Most cases, this is caused by excess CSF accumulating in the cerebral ventricles due to disturbances of CSF circulation (known as obstructive or non-communicating hydrocephalus) Less often (communicating) and a result of decreased absorption Rarely is increased production Current thought is it s a combination of circulation and absorption Distribution A: Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited. Case Number: 88ABW , 3 May

23 Aeromedical Concerns Distribution A: Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited. Case Number: 88ABW , 3 May
24 Hydrocephalus Excessive volume of CSF causes increased ventricular pressure and leads to ventricular dilatation In obstructive hydrocephalus, dilatation of the ventricular system occurs proximal to the obstruction Aqueductal stenosis causes dilation of the lateral and third ventricles Obstruction at the body of the lateral ventricle causes dilation of the distal temporal horn and atrium Obstruction of one foramen of Monro causes dilatation of the lateral ventricle on that side Distribution A: Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited. Case Number: 88ABW , 3 May
25 Hydrocephalus Communicating hydrocephalus is dilation of the entire ventricular system, including the fourth ventricle Typically due to inflammation of the subarachnoid villi, but also may be caused by impaired CSF absorption Congenital Neural tube defects, intrauterine infections, CNS malformations, syndromic forms, etc. Distribution A: Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited. Case Number: 88ABW , 3 May
26 Hydrocephalus Acquired Infections, tumors, and post-hemorrhagic/trauma Symptoms: result from increased intracranial pressure and dilatation of the ventricles and is dependent on how rapid the accumulation occurs If slow accumulation, the patient may have a long period without symptoms Rapid progression of ventricular dilatation typically results in early development of symptoms Distribution A: Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited. Case Number: 88ABW , 3 May
27 Hydrocephalus Signs and symptoms: Macrocephaly Papilledema Extraocular muscle pareses leading to diplopia Pressure on the midbrain may result in impairment of upward gaze, spasticity of the extremities, cognitive deficits, seizures NOTE: all significant in aeromedical decision process Distribution A: Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited.

28 Hydrocephalus DX/TX MRI imaging of choice Third ventriculostomy, shunt placement, serial LPs Treatment dependent on location, type, progression of symptoms Distribution A: Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited. Case Number: 88ABW , 3 May
29 Hydrocephalus Aeromedical Concerns Cognitive impairment, treatment complications (overdrainage, infection, mechanical failure), neurological impact, seizures all obviously play a role in decision making What is the baseline and what is the likelihood of progression? Risk of developing symptoms and the impact in regard to the big three : personal safety, mission safety, and mission accomplishment Distribution A: Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited.
