Comput Med Imaging Graph. 1998 Jul-Aug;22(4):345-7. doi: 10.1016/s0895-6111(98)00029-9.

Abstract

Recently, an 11 year-old girl was reported with fusion of the cerebral hemispheres (holoprosencephaly), and cerebellar hemispheres (rhombencephalosynapsia), without identifiable ventricles. The condition was named as aventriculi. In this paper, the second example of aventriculi is reported in a 1 month-old girl by MR imaging.
