Overview of the MAjor Levels of the Ventricles in the Coronal Plain |

There are 5 basic levels of the ventricles that provide reference points that enable recognition of the ventricular part and will subsequently enable us to recognise the other structures that surround th ventricles. The most anterior cut is the ?T? shaped frontal horns seen in the top row on the right. The green frame represents its position as being in the forebrain. The next cut is the also still in the forebrain and is the midline slit like shape of the 3rd ventricle. The next level is the barely visible aqueduct of Sylvius in the midbrain (orange) that lies just above the pons. The next level is also the forebrain (green frame and looks like an inverted ?V? and represents the posteriorly positioned occipital horns and atria, connected to the more inferiorly placed temporal horns. Lastly the fourth ventricle has almost the same shape as it has in the axial plane ? almost an inverted heart. It is in the posterior fossa in the hindbrain.
