Description
Gabrielle Dituri and a large team of co-authors review the cerebral aqueduct in a 2026 paper. The aqueduct is the narrowest channel of the brain's fluid system, linking two ventricles. Over five hundred millilitres of fluid pass through it daily, and a block there can swell the brain with fluid.
The review covers how the channel forms before birth, with help from a small organ and a fiber that rides the flow. It sums up modern scans, from sharp MRI to fetal ultrasound. Faults at birth, such as webs and forks, are set beside later harms like scars and tumors. Gene causes of narrowing, led by one called L1CAM, close the survey before surgical options.
