relevance to the ventricular space at that particular level. In addition, the configuration of structures lining the ventricular space and the shape of the space itself may provide important information during a neuro logic examination. The color coding corresponds to that shown in Figure 4-10 on the facing page.

4-11 Lateral view of the ventricular system and corresponding semi-diagrammatic cross-sectional representations from ros tral ( A ) to caudal ( G ) identifying specific structures that border on the ventricular space. In the cross sections, the ventricle is outlined by a heavy line and the majority of structures labeled have some direct
