body. It weighs about 3 pounds in average adult, and is composed of 60% fats, while the
remaining 40% is a combination of water, protein, carbohydrates and salts. It is enclosed within
the skull, which provides frontal, lateral and dorsal protection. The brain itself is a not a muscle.
It contains blood vessels and nerves, including neurons and glial cells. The brain can be divided
into the cerebrum, brainstem and cerebellum.
Cerebrum – The cerebrum (front of the brain) is the largest part of the brain that initiates
and coordinates movement and is also responsible in regulating the temperature.
Speech, judgment, thinking and reasoning, problem-solving, emotions and learning are
powered by the other areas of the cerebrum. Other functions relate to vision, hearing,
touch and other senses. The cerebrum has four sections, called lobes: frontal, parietal,
temporal and occipital. Each lobe serves specific functions.
o Frontal lobe – Is located in front of the head, and is the largest lobe of the brain.
Personality characteristics, decision-making and movement are said to be
associated with the frontal lobe. Recognition of smell usually involves parts of the
frontal lobe. It also contains Broca’s area, which is associated with speech ability.
o Parietal lobe – this is located in the middle part of the brain. The parietal lobe
facilitates a person’s ability to identify objects and understand spatial
relationships (where one’s body is compared with objects around the person). It
is also involved in interpreting pain and touch in the body. The Wernicke’s area is
found in the parietal lobe, which helps the brain understand spoken language.
o Temporal lobe – This lobe is found at the sides of the brain, temporal lobes are
involved in short-term memory, speech, musical rhythm and some degree of
smell recognition.
o Occipital lobe – this is located at the back part of the brain, that is involved with
vision.
Cerebellum – The cerebellum (also called as, “the little brain”) is located above the
brain stem and at the back portion of the head, below the temporal and occipital lobes. It
is responsible for coordinating voluntary muscle movements and to maintain posture,
balance and equilibrium.
Brain stem – The middle of the brain is called as the brainstem. It connects the
cerebrum with the
spinal cord. The
brainstem includes
the midbrain, the
pons and the
medulla. The
midbrain facilitates
several functions,
from hearing and
movement to
calculating responses
and environmental
changes. The pons is
the connection bet
ween the midbrain
and the medulla. It is
the origin for four of
the 12 cranial nerves, which enable a range of activities such as tear production,
chewing, blinking, focusing vision, balance, hearing and facial expression. The medulla
is located at the bottom of the brainstem, where the brain connects to the spinal cord.
Numerous functions of the medulla are essential for survival, these includes regulation of
many bodily activities, including heart rhythm, breathing, blood flow, and oxygen and
carbon dioxide levels. The medulla also produces reflexive activities such as sneezing,
vomiting, coughing and swallowing.
b. Micro anatomy
The Anterior Cerebral Artery (ACA), Middle Cerebral Artery (MCA), and the Posterior Cerebral
Artery (PCA) are the three main vessels that carry blood to the brain. Among these three
vessels, MCA is the commonly involves and is largest artery that supplies blood to a large
portion of the brain. It supplies blood to the frontal, temporal and parietal lobes, as well as deep
brain structures including the basal ganglia and intimal capsule. Occlusions of this vessel most
typically result in hemiplegia and sensory loss of the contralateral side of the body as well as
visual deficits, aphasia and unilateral neglect. Involvement of the PCA can result in visual
deficits, while involvement of the ACA can result in behavioral changes, contralateral weakness
and sensory loss, and incontinence. Strokes involving the vertebral-basilar circulation can also
occur and affect the cerebellum, brainstem, or both. Cerebellar strokes will commonly impair
balance and coordination.
c. Physiology
Cerebral blood flow (CBF) is the blood supply to the brain in a given period of time. In an adult,
CBF is typically 750 milliliters per minute or 15% of the cardiac output. This equates to an
average perfusion of 50 to 54 milliliters of blood per 100 grams of brain tissue per minute.
Arteries deliver oxygenated blood, glucose and other nutrients to the brain. Veins carry "used or
spent" blood back to the heart, to remove carbon dioxide, lactic acid, and other metabolic
products. Because the brain would quickly suffer damage from any stoppage in blood supply,
the cerebral circulatory system has safeguards including autoregulation of the blood vessels.
The failure of these safeguards may result in a stroke. CBF is tightly regulated to meet the
brain's metabolic demands. Too much blood (a clinical condition of a normal homeostatic
response of hyperemia) can raise intracranial pressure (ICP), which can compress and damage
delicate brain tissue. Too little blood flow (ischemia) results if blood flow to the brain is below 18
to 20 ml per 100 g per minute, and tissue death occurs if flow dips below 8 to 10 ml per 100 g
per minute. In brain tissue, a biochemical cascade known as the ischemic cascade is triggered
when the tissue becomes ischemic, potentially resulting in damage to and the death of brain
cells.
VIII. PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
a. Definition
In a schematic brain attack, there is disruption of the cerebral blood flow due to
obstruction of a blood vessel. This disruption in blood flow initiates a complex series of
cellular metabolic events referred to as ischemic cascade. The ischemic cascade begins
when cerebral blood flow falls to less than 25 mL/100 g/min. At this point, neurons can
no longer maintain aerobic respiration, which generates large amounts of lactic acid,
causing a change in the pH level. This switch to the Jess efficient anaerobic respiration
also renders the neurons incapable of producing sufficient quantities of adenosine
triphosphate (ATP) to fuel the depolarization processes. Thus, the membrane pumps
that maintain electrolyte balances begin to fail and the cell cease to function.
b. Risk Factors
The major risk factors for this are people who have a high blood pressure,
diabetes, those who have a heart and blood vessel diseases, High LDL cholesterol and
those who have been smoking. Arteriovenous malformations (AVM) and brain
aneurysms are also a major risk. AVMS are tangles of poorly formed arteries and veins
that can break open in the brain.
Other imaging tests to look for narrowed blood vessels in the neck or an
aneurysm or tangled blood vessels in the brain.
d. Medical-Surgical Management
Perioperative Phase
To prepare for the surgery, tests are ordered by the doctor several days before the
procedure. These tests include blood tests, chest x-ray, electrocardiogram as well as a
brain scan by MRI, CT, or PET.
The patient should not take anti-inflammatory medicines or blood thinners, for at least one
week before the procedure.
The patient should stop smoking, chewing tobacco, and drinking alcohol for 1-2 weeks.
The patient should not eat or drink anything for at least 8 – 12 hours before the procedure.
The patient’s head is shaved over the area where the craniotomy will be done.
Intraoperative Phase
Control of bleeding
Identification of injuries
Control of contamination
Reconstruction (if possible)
Once anesthesia takes effect and the patient is asleep, the head is help in a fixed position
using a 3-pin skull fixation device.
Post-operative
Keep the incision clean. Craniotomy incisions are usually closed with sutures or surgical
staples.
The patient is taken to the recovery room and watched closely. The vital signs (that is,
temperature, blood pressure, heart rate, and breathing) are monitored.
Watched closely. The breathing tubes and catheters are usually left in place and a drip
may be put into a vein to give fluids.
