      produced in the brain ventricles and circulates around the brain and spinal cord, protecting them from injury and supplying brain cells with nutrients. Hydrocephalus can occur due to impaired circulation or malabsorption and is a medical emergency, which can lead to raised intracranial pressure. Nurses are responsible for the care of

      brain. The ventricles are connected to the spinal cord and the covering of the brain. These connections let fluid flow through the baby’s brain and spine. If fluid is not flowing in the usual way, it can build-up in the ventricles. In other cases, a problem in the way the brain formed leaves extra …

      - The ventricles are lined by ependymal cells which are modified glial cells. As these cells are not fused by tight junctions, free exchange exists between the cerebrospinal fluid containing ventricles and the extracellular space of the brain. Typically, this situation permits the washout of many products of brain

      In the brain there are five interconnected fluid-filled cavities. These are called ventricles. The ventricles produce and are filled with cerebro-spinal fluid; from the ventricles the cerebro-spinal fluid circulates into the central spinal canal. During a routine ultrasound investigation, the width of the posterior part (‘posterior horn’ or ...
