Developmental Anomalies of the Horns of the Lateral Ventricles

John I. Bates, Martin G. Netsky

Open publisher page 12 citations

Abstract

The illustration of the cerebral ventricles devised by Retzius (1) has been used almost universally in textbooks of anatomy, radiology and neurology. This single picture showed a fairly symmetrical ventricular system. As a result of its wide use, the frequent asymmetry between the two sides of the normal ventricle and the differences from one brain to another are little appreciated. This report of the macroscopic and microscopic appearance of the horns of the lateral ventricles deals with several anatomic variations which help account for the differences in the ventricles.
