| Hydrocephalus
|
•A coronal section of the brain through the corpus striatum.
•Note the markedly enlarged lateral
ventricles, with thinning of the white matter.
•This is characteristic of hydrocephalus due to
obstruction of CSF pathways.
•The increase in cerebral spinal fluid pressure in the
ventricles causes distension of the ventricles and
pressure atrophy of the brain.
