Sonographic appearance of the torcular Herophili.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The sonograms of 12 infants aged 2 days to 7 months were evaluated to determine if the torcular Herophili could be demonstrated routinely on cranial sonography. Sonography, which was performed for a variety of indications (prematurity, seizures, hydrocephalus, sepsis, congenital anomalies, and subarachnoid hemorrhage) demonstrated the torcular Herophili in all cases. It appeared as a variable-sized, anechoic, and triangular or elongated structure inferior to the occipital lobes, posterior to the cerebellum, and just inside the cranial vault. Correlation with computed tomographic scans was available in four patients. A detailed description of the normal anatomy of the torcular Herophili is provided. Knowledge of the variable sonographic appearance of the torcular Herophili is important to distinguish it from a pathologic entity.

Total cerebral blood flow in the monkey measured by hydrogen clearance.
Total Cerebral Blood Flow in the Monkey Measured by Hydrogen Clearance • Simple hydrogen-sensitive polarographical electrodes of thin platinum wire were inserted into the torcular Herophili of Rhesus monkeys. Hydrogen was administered by inhalation for ten minutes, after which the hydrogen clearance was recorded from torcular blood. At a Paco, of 32 mm Hg (SD ± 2.3), flow in the fast flow compa...

Results Six cases that were prenatally diagnosed by ultrasound between 22-28 weeks of gestation were reviewed. Four cases were further evaluated with fetal MRI. Associated findings included torcular and superior sagittal sinus dilatation in all cases and ventriculomegaly in two (33%) cases. Serial sonographic follow-up scans demonstrated a favorable antenatal course with complete resolution bef...
