Abstract

A case of an encysted fourth ventricle subsequent to meningitis is described. This clinical entity may cause a progressive neurological deficit secondary to mass effect and recurrent central nervous system infections. Direct drainage, as opposed to lateral ventricular shunting alone, is indicated.

Soft tissue rapid prototyping in neurosurgery.

As part of our research into the fluid hydrodynamics of the human ventricular system, a fused deposition model of the human ventricular system was made using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data. This article describes the manufacturing of a positive cast of the ventricles as a first step in the construction of a hollow model. After decryption of the original MRI file (ACR-Nema format), the MRI slices were reassembled semiautomatically and a rapid prototyping station produced a resin model. Because of its ease and speed, this method harbors great potential for teaching purposes, research, and preoperative planning in complex three-dimensional soft tissue targets.
