Some scanning electron microscopic observations of the ependymal surface of the ventricles of hydrocephalic Hy3 mice and a human infant.
Two hydrocephalic Hy 3 mice and an infant with hydrocephalus and the Arnold-Chiari malformation were examined with the scanning electron microscope. Both mice had advanced hydrocephalus but had normal appearances in the basal regions of the ventricles. ⋯ The infant had mild hydrocephalus and normal ependymal appearances. The most likely explanation of these findings is that they are a consequence of raised intracranial pressure, and are not the cause of hydrocephalus.
