Cerebral softening, also known as encephalomalacia, is a localized softening of the substance of the brain, due to bleeding or inflammation. Three varieties, distinguished by their color and representing different stages of the disease progress, are known respectively as red, yellow, and white softening.
Lateral ventricles and horns The lateral ventricles connected to the third ventricle by the interventricular foramina. Each lateral ventricle takes the form of an elongated curve, with an additional anterior-facing continuation emerging inferiorly from a point near the posterior end of the curve; the junction is known as the trigone of the lateral ventricle.
The calcar avis, (calcarine spur) previously known as the hippocampus minor, [1] is an involution of the wall of the lateral ventricle's posterior horn produced by the calcarine fissure. [ 2 ] It is sometimes visible on ultrasound [ 3 ] and can resemble a clot .
The ventricles contained within the rhombencephalon become the fourth ventricle, and the ventricles contained within the mesencephalon become the aqueduct of Sylvius. Separating the anterior horns of the lateral ventricles is the septum pellucidum : a thin, triangular, vertical membrane which runs as a sheet from the corpus callosum down to the ...
Periventricular leukomalacia (PVL) is a form of white-matter brain injury, characterized by the necrosis (more often coagulation) of white matter near the lateral ventricles. [1] [2] It can affect newborns and (less commonly) fetuses; premature infants are at the greatest risk of neonatal encephalopathy which may lead to this condition.
In more severe cases an external ventricular drain may be required to maintain ICP and evacuate the hemorrhage, and in extreme cases an open craniotomy may be required. [ 2 ] [ 14 ] In cases of unilateral IVH with small intraparenchymal hemorrhage the combined method of stereotaxy and open craniotomy has produced promising results.
The septum pellucidum is a thin, laminated translucent vertical membrane in the midline of the brain separating the anterior horns of the right and left lateral ventricles. It lies posterior to the corpus callosum. Persistence of the cave of septum pellucidum after infancy has been loosely associated with neural maldevelopment and several ...
The fourth ventricle is the lower blue mass. The little points sticking out on the left and right are the two parts of the lateral recess. The lateral recess or lateral recess of fourth ventricle, is a projection of the fourth ventricle which extends to the lateral border of the brainstem at the pontomedullary junction.
