Lateralventrikel
The lateral ventricles are a pair of C-shaped cavities within the brain, forming part of the ventricular system that contains cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). These ventricles are the largest of the brain's ventricles and are located in the cerebral hemispheres, one in each hemisphere. They are positioned in the frontal, parietal, occipital, and temporal lobes, occupying the central parts of these regions.
Each lateral ventricle consists of a anterior horn (frontal), body, posterior horn (occipital), and inferior horn
The primary functions of the lateral ventricles include the production and circulation of CSF, which cushions
Anomalies or conditions involving the lateral ventricles, such as hydrocephalus (excess accumulation of CSF), can lead
Understanding the anatomy and function of the lateral ventricles is essential in neurology and neurosurgery, especially
