THE area postrema in the cat is a region which protrudes from, the dorsal surface of the medulla into the fourth ventricle. It begins in the midline ventral to the obex and passes rostrally as a ...

Intriguingly, in vivo, lateral and fourth ventricle CSF shows distinct protein signatures 12,35,120, which are suggestive of regionalized protein gradients across the ventricular system . Gene ...

More commonly associated with babies, adults too can experience this condition that can have various symptoms.

This is an acute bleed into a tumor, compressing the fourth ventricle, which resulted in acute non-communicating hydrocephalus. Note also the dilated temporal horns. On the higher image (right image), ...

A 25-year-old woman was evaluated for worsening headaches, photophobia, nausea, vomiting, and blurred vision. MRI revealed hydrocephalus and leptomeningeal enhancement. CSF analysis revealed neutro ...

Note the prominent enlargement of the lateral and third ventricles in the setting of a normal sized fourth ventricle (left image). This pattern is one of non-communicating (obstructive) hydrocephalus, ...

The fourth ventricle is so small that possible volume changes may have been too tiny to detect, Seidler says. While two-week trips left a minimal mark on ventricles, ...

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanning showed "massive" enlargement of the lateral, third, and fourth ventricles, a very thin cortical mantle, and a posterior fossa cyst, the authors write.
