The size of the cerebral ventricles was estimated from computed tomographic (CT) scans of 14 young patients with schizophrenia and 12 medical controls. The subjects were a representative subsample from a larger sample studied by Boronow et al. (1985). Although no CT abnormalities were detected in the psychiatric patients using traditional measures (mechanical planimetry for the lateral ventricl...

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to delineate the anatomic relationship of the optic radiations to the atrium of the lateral ventricle using the Klingler method of white matter fiber dissection. These findings were applied to define a surgical approach to the trigone that avoids injury to the optic radiations. METHODS: Sixteen cadaveric hemispheres were prepared by several cycles of freezin...

A clinical case of a 12 year-old girl with hydrocephalus complicated by rare condition, lateral ventricular diverticulum, is reported. Progression of the diverticulum was followed up according to MRI. The diverticulum of the lateral ventricular wall has emerged in the interval of 1 year (14 months have passed between the two MRI examinations) and spread towards the quadrigeminal cistern. In add...

We describe the case of a nine-day-old female Holstein calf which had cheiloschisis, a moderate dome-shaped head, ataxia and opisthotonus since birth. No significant findings except the dome-shaped head were observed on survey radiography of the skull. Computed tomography (CT) images showed bilateral lateral ventriculomegaly, cerebellar hypoplasia and a cyst-like lesion communicating with the r...

familial colloid cyst of the third ventricle is very rare. this is one of the two largest families reported and the first in which all affected members are siblings. one asymptomatic sister was found by screening, emphasizing the value of screening. a brother and two sisters from a family consisting of three brothers and three sisters who were diagnosed as having colloid cyst of the third ventr...
