TRAUMATIC DILATATION OF THE CEREBRAL VENTRICLES

Ventriculography following the Injection of Air into the Cerebral Ventricles.

THE value of rontgenography in the diagnosis and localization of intracranial tumors is mainly restricted to the cases in which the neoplasm has affected the skull. In an analysis of the X-ray findings in one hundred cases of /brain tumor from Doctor Halsted's Clinic, Heuer and I 1 have shown that in only 6 per cent. of the cases did the tumor cast a shadow, and in these it was only the calcifi...

Stereotaxic placement of cannulae in cerebral ventricles of the pig.

We have developed and employed a stereotaxic coordinate system for the pig brain based on eternal skull landmarks. Sagittal, coronal, and horizontal planes were defined. Based on histological maps and ventricular casts, the coordinates for locating the lateral ventricles were described. Guide tubes leading to the lateral ventricles have been chronically implanted. This access route to the ventr...

A-scan echoencephalography in measurement of the cerebral ventricles.

Sexual Dimorphism in Volume of the Cerebral Hemispheres and Lateral Ventricles in Schizophrenia Using Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Purpose: This study is designed to determine the sexual dimorphism pattern in volume of the cerebral hemispheres and lateral ventricles in schizophrenia using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and to compare it with normal sexual dimorphism pattern in healthy brains. Materials and Methods: This study is performed on 29 healthy volunteers (21 males, 8 females) and 29 patients suffered from schiz...

Transposition of ventricles and arterial stems with cerebral abscess.

In the heart to be reported here there are congenital anomalies allowing communication between the right-heart and left-heart circulations, a feature of most of the other reported cases of cerebral abscess occurring in association with congenital heart disease. The anatomical features, however, were unique and of particular interest in relation to their method of development. The great vessels ...
