HYDROCEPHALUS

HYDROCEPHALUS

The total volume of CSF is normally about 150 /uni00A0 mL. Produc tion from the walls of the ventricles and the choroid plexus is about 20 /uni00A0 mL/h. Hydrocephalus refers to an increase in CSF volume with ventricular enlargement, often presenting symptoms of raised ICP . Alexander Monro , 1733–1817, Professor of Anatomy , The University of Edinburgh, Edinburgh, UK, a post also held by his father, Alexander Monro (primus), and son, Alexander Monro (tertius). Francois Magendie , 1783–1855, Physician and Professor of Pathology and Physiology , Paris, France. Also described the Magendie sign, a downward and inward rotation of the eye due to a cerebellar lesion. Hubert von Luschka , 1820–1875, anatomist, University of Tübingen, Tübingen, Germany . CSF flows from the lateral ventricles through the foramen of Monro to the third ventricle, then down the cerebral aqueduct to the fourth ventricle, where it exits to the subarachnoid space via the midline foramen of Magendie and the lateral foramina of Luschka ( Figure 48.4 ). CSF is reabsorbed into the arach - noid villi along the superior sagittal sinus. - HYDROCEPHALUS
