Palabras clave:
LOS VENTRÍCULOS, poster, seram, LCRResumen
Objetivos Docentes
• Ser una herramienta práctica en la evaluación de los ventrículos cerebrales en la práctica diaria.
• Profundizar en el conocimiento anatómico y fisiológico del sistema ventricular.
• Reconocer variantes anatómicas o hallazgos sin trascendencia y revisar las principales entidades patológicas así como las técnicas para su diagnóstico y control a través de casos, con especial atención a la hidrocefalia.
Revisión del tema
Introducción
El sistema ventricular otorga protección, flotabilidad y equilibrio químico a las estructuras intracraneales. Mediante este trabajo se pretende ilustrar su anatomía radiológica normal y variante y presentar su espectro patológico así como las técnicas diagnósticas de las que disponemos actualmente para su diagnóstico y control. Se revisan especialmente las alteraciones en la presión del LCR (hidrocefalia e hipotensión licuoral), y se muestran algunas claves para el diagnóstico diferencial entre la hidrocefalia y la atrofia. Se revisan más brevemente otras entidades (congénitas, degenerativas, causas de hemorragia intraventricular, ventriculitis, tumores y cambios posquirúrgicos).
