  • Abstract
  • Look Inside

Although both “Isolated Fourth Ventricle” (IFV) and “Disproportionately Large, Communicating Fourth Ventricle” (DLCFV) are the clinical-radiologic entities characterized by a dilatation of the fourth ventricle, DLCFV must be separated from IFV because of its apparent patency of the aqueduct. In some Japanese literature, however, there was some confusion concern-ing DLCFV and so-called “reversible DLCFV” or IFV with “one way aqueduct”.

In this paper, comparing DLCFV with IFV, a reaso-nable pathogenesis of DLCFV was discussed on the basis of clinico-radiological analysis of four cases of DLCFV.

Our tentative conclusion is as follows : 1) Whether there is radiologic aqueductal patency or not, the term of DLCFV should not be primarily reserved for pa-tients who have had shunting of the lateral ventricle for previous hydrocephalus.“ 2) It was strongly suggested that a mechanism involved in the development of DLCFV was the formation ”membranous occlusion" in/ or near the foramen Magendie.
