Aventriculy: a new entity?
In an 11-year-old girl who had repeated episodes of aspiration pneumonia, no lateral ventricles and no third or fourth ventricle could be identified on T1-, T2-, or proton density-weighted MR images. This condition was associated with failure of midline cleavage of the cerebral hemispheres, rhombencephalosynapsis, and complex migrational disorders.
