Further studies evaluating the use of this integrative visualization of the ventricular system of the brain for its applicability in the educational setting should be performed. It is envisaged that this 3D-fly-through video of the ventricular system will be valuable when integrated with standard prosections and atlas pictures in the educational setting. In addition, structures in the walls of the ventricular system could be appreciated in a novel way. Micro-focus X-ray tomography provides feasible means of delivering high-resolution images in a nondestructive way to design a representation of the ventricular system.

VENTRICLES OF THE BRAIN SOFTWARE

A 3D flythrough video of the ventricular system was reconstructed from these scans using software to view the inner surface of the ventricles. Randomly selected embalmed human cadaver brains were scanned at Necsa (South African Nuclear Energy Corporation) housing the MIXRAD laboratory consisting of a Nikon XTH 225 ST micro-focus X-ray tomography facility. The aim of this study was to explore the possibility of using micro-focus X-ray tomography in the three-dimensional (3D) visualization of the ventricular system as well as the various neuroanatomical structures within its walls for educational purposes. The application of Micro-focus X-ray tomography affords the possibility to appreciate hidden structures in a nondestructive manner. Dissection procedures designed to display the structures in the walls of the ventricles are destructive and not conducive for the appreciation of the ventricular system in its entirety.

Follow all medical recommendations, such as taking prescribed medicines.Conceptualization of the ventricular system of the brain by macroscopic studies is complicated by the lack of physical structure of these interconnected cavities.To help your child get the best treatment: But most need more than one surgery and ongoing medical care. Treatment for hydrocephalus is successful in many children. Kids also might need therapy for slowed development, such as: Then, it's absorbed into the bloodstream. Endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV) surgery: A tiny hole made in the bottom of the ventricle lets the extra CSF drain out of the brain.over time as a child grows and needs a bigger shunt.After it gets to the belly, the extra CSF is absorbed into the bloodstream. The tube is all inside the body under the skin.

Ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt surgery: Doctors place a tube from the brain's ventricles to the peritoneal cavity, the space inside the belly where the stomach and the bowels sit.

Treatments may include one of these surgeries: Treatment for hydrocephalus depends on the child's age and what's causing the hydrocephalus.

doing imaging studies such as an ultrasound, CT scan, or MRI Pneumoencephalography (sometimes abbreviated PEG also referred to as an 'air study') was a common medical procedure in which most of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) was drained from around the brain by means of a lumbar puncture and replaced with air, oxygen, or helium to allow the structure of the brain to show up more clearly on an X-ray image.

bleeding in the brain (from a stroke or brain injury).

complications of prematurity (being born early).

aqueductal stenosis: when CSF flow between the ventricles inside the brain is blocked.

spina bifida: when a baby's spinal cord does not fully develop As brain ventricles enlarge with the excess CSF, they can disrupt and damage nearby brain tissue, leading to difficulty walking, problems with thinking and.

Not enough CSF is absorbed into the bloodstream (called communicating hydrocephalus).

The flow of CSF is blocked (called obstructive hydrocephalus).

Then it's absorbed into the bloodstream, and new, fresh CSF takes its place. It also sends nutrients to the brain and takes away waste. It flows around the brain and spinal cord, cushioning them. How Does Hydrocephalus Happen?Д¬erebrospinal fluid is saltwater that's made inside the ventricles.

get it later (called acquired hydrocephalus).

be born with hydrocephalus (called congenital hydrocephalus).

Older children with hydrocephalus usually complain of headache.
