Cavum Vergae
Cavum Vergae (also known as the fifth ventricle) is a potential space in the brain, and is one of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) filled spaces. It is located between the corpus callosum and the septum pellucidum.
Anatomy[edit | edit source]
The Cavum Vergae is an extension of the cavum septi pellucidi, extending posteriorly into the ventricular system. It is a median, cleft-like space in the brain, located superior to the thalamus and between the lateral ventricles.
Clinical significance[edit | edit source]
The presence of a Cavum Vergae is considered a normal variant in neonates and infants. However, its persistence into adulthood can be associated with various neurological disorders, including schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and epilepsy.
