    Author: Ratzka M, Sörensen N, Wodarz R.
    Journal: Radiologe; 1981 Nov; 21(11):507-15. PubMed ID: 7302205.
    Abstract:
    The so-called midline-malformations of the brain which include alterations of ventricles or arachnoid spaces formerly only were found by invasive procedures performed because of their various clinical signs. Since cranial computerized tomography is available, by this new noninvasive method all these disturbances can be diagnosed safely. The paper is referring to the most frequent and essential exponents of these midline-malformations together with their main features in anatomy, pathomorphology, clinical and radiological signs. The persistent performed cavities especially the cavum septi pellucidi, the cavum Vergae and the cavum veli interpositi, additionally the agenesis of the corpus callosum, the Dandy-Walker-syndrome and the Chiari-malformations are described by typical cases. In conclusion the reliability of diagnosis in all cases of midline-malformations will be mostly sufficient by plain axial computed tomograms due to very clearly defined unmistakable pictures.
