Hydrocephalus
Hydrocephalus

Horizontal section of brain looking down into the markedly dilated lateral ventricles - hydrocephalus.
Note the markedly narrowed white and grey matter compressed by the increased cerebral spinal fluid pressure from blockage of outflow.
The choroid plexus continues to make CSF in spite of the increased intraventricular pressure.
