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

Fetal ventriculomegaly, defined as abnormal enlargement of the atria of the lateral cerebral ventricles (to a diameter >10 mm), can be detected on ultrasonography during the midtrimester of ...

While CSF moves in one direction when passing through the ventricles, it moves in several different directions within the subarachnoid space (Sakka et al, 2011). It is eventually absorbed by the ...

Cerebrospinal fluid can sometimes leak or collect in the brain without an identifiable cause, leading to symptoms that can be difficult to diagnose.

In that group, shunt failure took place in 23.6% of cases of 342 patients; 8.2% of those patients presented with slit ventricles, 36.5% presented with normal or slightly enlarged cerebral ...

Based on the brain scans, the researchers found that it took three years for the ventricles to fully recover after such journeys. A study funded by the National Aeronautics and Space ...

CSF is made of water, proteins, sugars, ions and neurotransmitters. It is primarily produced by a network of cells called the choroid plexus, which is located in the brain’s ventricles, or cavities.

Space takes its toll With human spaceflight becoming more frequent and lengthier, understanding how spaceflight experience impacts the brain could help define guidelines for future missions. (Courtesy ...
