The choroid plexus (ChP) is the blood-cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) barrier and the primary
source of CSF. Acquired hydrocephalus, caused by brain infection or hemorrhage, lacks …

Hydrocephalus, despite its heterogeneous causes, is ultimately a disease of disordered CSF
homeostasis that results in pathological expansion of the cerebral ventricles. Our current …

Choroid plexus papillomas are rare, benign tumors originating from the choroid plexus.
Although generally found within the ventricular system, they can arise ectopically in the brain …

Mutations in genes encoding components of BAF (BRG1/BRM-associated factor) chromatin
remodeling complexes cause neurodevelopmental disorders and tumors. The mechanisms …

Cranial ultrasound reliably diagnoses many neonatal brain disorders. Adding Doppler
imaging expands the spectrum by providing information on the status of the vasculature and …

Hydrocephalus is a clinical disorder resulting from an imbalance between the production of
CSF and its resorption, of which the latter is mostly a disadvantage. In rare cases of choroid …

Hydrocephalus is generally defined as abnormal accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)
within the ventricles and subarachnoid spaces, and is often associated with dilatation of the …

Introduction The cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) production rate in humans is not clearly defined
but is estimated to be 18–24 ml/h (Trevisi et al Croat Med J 55 (4): 377–387; Casey and …

BACKGROUND: Cerebral hemispherectomy can effectively treat unihemispheric epilepsy.
However, posthemispherectomy hydrocephalus (PHH), a serious life-long complication …

Purpose This article is the first in a two-part series designed to provide a comprehensive
overview of the range of supratentorial intraventricular masses observed in children. Our …
