Base Of The Infundibulum Floor 3rd Ventricle

Often these lesions extend superiorly invaginating into the third ventricle and obstruct the outflow of the lateral ventricles resulting in obstructive hydrocephalus 1.

Base of the infundibulum floor 3rd ventricle. Here s the floor of the third ventricle here s the optic chiasm here s the infundibulum leading down to the pituitary gland or hypophysis. Around the base of the infundibulum is the median eminence a raised portion of hypothalamic gray matter. The picture has been simplified by removing the important arteries that surround the base of the brain and run in the major. The anterior and posterior parts of the pituitary gland are quite distinct.

It communicates on either side with the lateral ventricle through the interventricular foramen figs. All patients who had third ventricle. These portions of the hypothalamus lack a blood brain barrier and typically enhance with gadolinium on mr images. We discuss here the structures forming the roof floor anterior wall posterior wall lateral wall of third ventricle.

The third ventricle the third ventricle is the cavity of the diencephalon. The hypothalamus is present anteroinferior that is it forms the floor of the 3rd ventricle. Roof formed by body of fornix and the ependyma lining the under surface of the tela choroidea. The diocoel is the 3rd ventricle that is located in the diencephalon which is made up of the thalamus epithalamus and hypothalamus.

The third ventricle is one of the four connected ventricles of the ventricular system within the mammalian brain it is a slit like cavity formed in the diencephalon between the two thalami in the midline between the right and left lateral ventricles and is filled with cerebrospinal fluid csf. Like other ventricles the third ventricle has a cavity an anterior wall a posterior wall a floor a roof and two lateral walls. Floor and roof the floor is formed by the optic chiasma the tuber cinereum and the infundibulum the mamillary bodies the posterior perforated substance and the tegmentum of the midbrain. Apart from the hypothalamus the mammillary body infundibulum and the tectum of the midbrain also forms the.

The median eminence and the tuber cinereum which is also part of the hypothalamus form most of the floor of the third ventricle. Distortion of the pituitary infundibulum can also cause endocrine dysfunction 2. Only tumors with third ventricle involvement i e. The floor of the third ventricle is ormed by optic chiasma the infundibulum and the tubular cinereum.

Running through the third ventricle is the interthalamic adhesion which contains thalamic. Contains drawn and explained detailed description of third ventricle of brain. The thalamus is laterally present along the 3rd ventricle.
