Case 1. A, Sagittal TSE T2 image shows third ventricle enlargement with downward displacement of the floor of the third ventricle consistent with hydrocephalus. The cerebral aqueduct and foramen of Magendie are open widely, showing extensive flow void phenomenon. There is a mild enlargement in the fourth ventricle. There is no sign of obstructive membrane in the prepontine cistern. B, Left parasagittal TSE T2 images through the left lateral ventricular exit show no direct or indirect sign of membrane. C, Axial TSE T2 image through the fourth ventricular exits demonstrates prominent signal intensity void in the fourth ventricle, but there is no direct or indirect sign of obstructive membrane at the foramina of Luschka. D, Left parasagittal 3D-CISS image clearly points out the membrane itself in the foramen of Luschka. There is extensive intensity difference between the fourth ventricle and the neighboring cistern. E, Sagittal 3D-CISS image clearly demonstrates prepontine membranes extending from the clivus to the basilar artery. F, Left parasagittal follow-up 3D-CISS image indicates persistent membrane in the fourth ventricle exit foramen, though the intensity differences between cistern and ventricle have disappeared.
