Acta neuropathologica, 1987•SpringerThe midbrains of pups with congenital hydrocephalus spontaneously occurring in MT/HokIdr
mice were histologically examined. The subcommissural organ (SCO) and the posterior
commissure were completely absent in the hydrocephalic brain. The cerebral aqueduct in
the hydrocephalic brain was never completely stenosed, though it was somewhat narrowed
in its middle region as compared with that in the normal brain. a possible interrelationship
between an absence of SCO and a cause of congenital hydrocephalus is discussed.
