Isolated fourth ventricle is not uncommon in complex posthemorrhagic or postinfectious hydrocephalus. When the condition is symptomatic, the current surgical treatment is endoscopic aqueductoplasty, followed by endoscope-assisted placement of a catheter in the fourth ventricle. The authors suggest a very simple method of steering the tip of standard ventricular catheters by using materials commonly available in all operating rooms. The main advantage of this method is that it permits less invasive transaqueductal drainage of trapped fourth ventricles, especially in cases of narrow third ventricle, because the scope and catheter are introduced in sequence and not in a double-barreled fashion. Two illustrative cases are reported.

Spinal arteriovenous malformations (SAVMs) are rare vascular lesions and account for about 4% of primary intraspinal masses. Since SAVMs can involve any location along the spinal column and produce a host of different problems, the symptoms are extremely variable. There are few reports of simultaneous cerebral SAH and intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) following rupture of a spinal AVM (SAVMs). Herein, we present a rare case of Lumbo Sacral spine arteriovenous malformation, which clinically manifests as sudden onset of severe headache and vomiting due to isolated fourth ventricle Hemorrhage (IVH) without cerebral subarachnoid hemorrhage.

Chapter 12.1 covers critical surgical anatomy of the ventricular system, including brief surgical embryology, brief clinical histology, the lateral ventricles, the third ventricle, the fourth ventricle, and major cisterns.

The brain of Ceratodus has the following general arrangement:—The membrane which represents the pia mater is of great thickness and toughness; there are two regions where a tela choroidea is developed: one where it covers in the fourth ventricle, and the other where it penetrates through the third ventricle and separates the lateral ventricles from each other. The ventricles are all of large size, and the walls of the lateral ventricles are not completed by nervous tissue. The thalamence-phalon and the mesencephalon are narrow, and the medulla oblongata is wide.
