Widening of the sulci

Introduction Widening of the sulcus refers to the widening of the gap between some or all of the leaves and leaves in many lobes of the brain caused by certain brain lesions or other pathological changes. You can go to the hospital for medical or neurology. Related diseases include Alzheimer's disease, Alzheimer's disease, cerebral thrombosis, cerebral palsy syndrome, tuberculous meningitis in children, cerebral thrombosis, and hydrocephalus.

Cause

Many brain lesions such as meningitis (meningitis is a delicate infection of the meninges or meninges, usually accompanied by complications of bacteria or viruses that infect any part of the body, such as ear, sinus or upper respiratory tract infections. ), trauma to the brain, senile dementia, drug-induced virulence factors and other factors can lead to widening of the sulci, which in turn produces many pathological changes.

1. Carefully ask the relevant medical history and collect relevant clinical data.

2. Closely check the patient to clearly understand the clinical symptoms of the patient.

3, appropriate physical examination of the patient, a preliminary understanding of the morphological changes of the various organs of the patient.

4. Perform relevant equipment examinations on patients and conduct laboratory tests as appropriate.

5, comprehensively consider the results of various tests, combined with the clinical symptoms of various organ damage, and finally draw the corresponding diagnosis

Differential diagnosis

Lateral ventricle widening: the width of the normal lateral ventricle is 10 mm, and greater than 10 mm is the widening of the ventricle. It is an ultrasound phenomenon that measures the width of the lateral ventricle of the fetus in the middle and late pregnancy.

Encephalitis-like changes are seen in experimental examinations in sporadic encephalitis and are one of the pathological changes in cerebrospinal fluid. Also known as sporadic viral encephalitis, non-specific encephalitis and atypical encephalitis. The number of white blood cells increased, and neutrophils were significantly increased in the early stage. After 1 to several days, lymphocytes predominate, and plasma cells and lymphocyte-like cells were also observed. The protein is normal or slightly elevated.

Demyelinating encephalopathy-like changes: The number of white blood cells is normal or slightly increased. The percentage of lymphocytes is increased in the classification. Large lymphocytes, lymphocyte-like cells, plasma cells and activated monocytes are also seen. Neutrophils are rare. Most of the protein is normal. The cerebrospinal fluid changes of the above two lesions are relative and cannot provide a basis for diagnosis of viral encephalitis or demyelinating encephalopathy.

Ventricular pressure displacement: refers to CT examination or cerebral angiography to find ventricular displacement, ventricular compression, and more often in brain trauma or brain tumors.
