Definition
The temporal horns are paired structures of the ventricular system extending from the atria of the ventricles to the temporal lobes. They course anteriorly lateral ward and then inferiorly extending within 2.5cms of the tip of the temporal lobes. IKts floor is provided by the hippocampus.
In a normal adult they are not usually visualized, and if they are visualised it is may represent the earliest sign of hydrocephalus or cerebral atrophy.
