Fig. 2.3

Brain MRI in a patient with communicating hydrocephalus. Axial T2-weighted images (a–c) show ventriculomegaly involving the supratentorial and infratentorial ventricular cavities. Observe the presence of flow voids inside the aqueduct and fourth ventricle. Midsagittal T1-weighted (d) 3DT2WSS sequence (CISS) (e) and 3DT2WTSE (SPACE) (f) images show a morphological normal aqueduct with marked flow void, better seen on the SPACE sequence.
