title: Dysplasia of subcommissural organ in congenital hydrocephalus spontaneously occurring in CWS/Idr rats.
abstract: The subcommissural organ (SCO) of the congenital hydrocephalus spontaneously occurring in CWS/Idr rats was severely reduced in size and displaced at some distance from the anterior end of the cerebral aqueduct. The cerebral aqueduct of the hydrocephalic rats was open throughout its total length during postnatal days 1-20, though it was somewhat narrower at its middle region than in the normal brain.
