• Lies within each cerebral hemisphere:• Frontal Horn (anterior)• Body (atrium)• Temporal Horn (inferior)• Occipital Horn (posterior)
• Interventricular Foramen (of Monroe)• connects each lateral ventricle with the 3rd ventricle• at junction of anterior horn & body

CSF Production & Flow
Total Volume of CSF = 150ml (25ml is within and around the spinal cord)
Produced at 0.4ml/min
Production independent of CSF pressure
Principally produced by Choroid Plexus of lateral ventricles
![Page 76: ANATOMY OF THE CEREBRAL VENTRICLES Francois du Toit Diagnostic Radiology Kimberley Hospital.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022033103/56649cad5503460f9496eff2/html5/thumbnails/76.jpg)
CSF Flow
Flows through Interventricular foramen into 3rd ventricle Via Cerebral Aqueduct to 4th Ventricle Via Midline Aperture (of Magendie) into Cisterna Magna Via Lateral Apertures into Pontine Cistern From Basal Cisterns
some fluid flows down and bathes the spinal cord
The Remainder passes upward through tentorial hiatus and diffuses over surface of
the cerebral hemispheres

CSF Absorbtion
CSF is absorbed through the Arachnoid Villi herniations of arachnoid through holes in the dura into
venous sinuses most numerous in sup sagittal sinus discrete in children with age they aggregate into visible clumps called
arachnoid granulations these indent the inner table of the skull beside the dural
venous sinuses

CSF Absorbtion
1/3 CSF absorbed along similar spinal villi OR
escapes along nerve sheaths into perineural lymphatics
This absorption is passive and dependent on hydrostatic pressure differences
