Abstract

The 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.
