Figure 14-39

Hydrocephalus, Brain, Dog.

A, Midsagittal section of the head, third ventricle. Note the dilated third and lateral ventricles and the absence of most of the septum pellucidum between the left and right lateral ventricles. B, Junction between parietal and occipital lobes, level of thalamus. Bilateral dilation of lateral ventricles (LV) dorsally, and ventrolaterally. The fornix has separated and lies on the flattened floor of the ventricle. Note that the third ventricle (TV) and junctional area between the third ventricle and mesencephalic aqueduct (TV-MA) are not enlarged and are possibly even reduced in size, suggesting that the obstruction may be at, or rostral to, this plane of section.
