  2. Aqueductal stenosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aqueductal_stenosis

    For the purposes of diagnosis aqueductal stenosis, a scan is performed on a patient's brain. Images showing an enlarged third ventricle along with a normally sized fourth ventricle (in a lateral view) is generally considered to be an indication of aqueductal stenosis, but this is still only presumption.

  3. Ventriculomegaly - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ventriculomegaly

    Ventriculomegaly is a brain condition that mainly occurs in the fetus when the lateral ventricles become dilated. The most common definition uses a width of the atrium of the lateral ventricle of greater than 10 mm. [1] This occurs in around 1% of pregnancies. [2]

  4. Ventricular system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ventricular_system

    The four cavities of the human brain are called ventricles. [6] The two largest are the lateral ventricles in the cerebrum, the third ventricle is in the diencephalon of the forebrain between the right and left thalamus, and the fourth ventricle is located at the back of the pons and upper half of the medulla oblongata of the

  5. Lateral ventricles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lateral_ventricles

    The volume of the lateral ventricles is enlarged in some neurological diseases, such as schizophrenia, [8] bipolar disorder, [9] major depressive disorder, [9] and Alzheimer's disease. [10] Ventriculomegaly is a brain condition that mainly occurs during development when the lateral ventricles become dilated. [11]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrocephalus

    Hydrocephalus is a condition in which cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) builds up within the brain. [1] This typically causes increased pressure inside the skull.Older people may have headaches, double vision, poor balance, urinary incontinence, personality changes, or mental impairment.

  8. Normal pressure hydrocephalus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normal_pressure_hydrocephalus

    Imaging should show an enlargement to at least one of the temporal horns of lateral ventricles, and impingement against the falx cerebri resulting in a callosal angle ≤ 90° on the coronal view, showing evidence of altered brain water content, or normal active flow (which is referred to as "flow void") at the cerebral aqueduct and fourth ...

  9. Colpocephaly - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colpocephaly

    These brain abnormalities were first described by Benda in 1940 as 'vesiculocephaly'. In 1946, Yakovlev and Wadsworth coined the term colpocephaly from the Greek word kolpos (hollow) and kephalos (head). [14] [15] It was suggested that the enlargement of ventricles occurred as a result of white matter development arrest during early fetal life. [4]
