The mechanism of cerebrospinal fluid malabsorption is most likely responsible for the patient's deterioration.

What happen with CSF during meningitis?

Arachnoid granules are responsible for returning fluid from the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) to the systemic circulation. After meningitis, the arachnoid granules become scarred and cannot absorb enough CSF, resulting in CSF to accumulate in both the subarachnoid space and the ventricle, resulting in communicating hydrocephalus.

What is CSF and from where is it produced?

  • Cerebrospinal fluid is made from the tissue that lines the ventricles (cavities) of the brain. Flows in and around the brain and spinal cord to protect against damage and provide nourishment.
  • Choroid plexus: According to the traditional understanding of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) physiology, most of the CSF is produced by the choroid plexus and absorbed into the blood by the arachnoid villi that circulate through the ventricles, cisterns and subarachnoid space.
