The cerebral ventricles have been studied since the fourth century BC and were originally thought to harbor the soul and higher executive functions. During the infancy of neuroradiology, alterations to the ventricular shape and position on pneumoencephalography and ventriculography were signs of mass effect or volume loss. However, in the current era of high-resolution cross-sectional imaging, variation in ventricular anatomy is more easily detectable and its clinical significance is still being investigated. Interpreting radiologists must be aware of anatomic variations of the ventricular system to prevent mistaking normal variants for pathology. We will review of the anatomy and development of the lateral ventricles and discuss several ventricular variations.
脑室自公元前四世纪以来就一直被研究，最初被认为是容纳灵魂和高级执行功能的地方。在神经放射学的早期，脑室在气脑造影和脑室造影上的形状和位置的改变被认为是肿块效应或体积损失的迹象。然而，在当前高分辨率的横断面成像时代，脑室解剖结构的变化更容易被发现，其临床意义仍在研究中。解释放射科医生必须了解脑室系统的解剖变异，以防止将正常变异误认为病理学。我们将回顾侧脑室的解剖和发育，并讨论几种脑室变异。
