Hirnventrikel

The video tutorial provides an in-depth look at the cerebral ventricles, explaining their structure, function, and clinical relevance. It covers the lateral, third, and fourth ventricles, detailing their anatomy and the flow of cerebrospinal fluid. The tutorial also discusses hydrocephalus, a condition related to the ventricular system, and concludes with a recap of the key points.
