AN63.1-3 | Introduction to Ventricular System & Special sensory pathways

Learning Objectives

  • Describe and demonstrate the parts, boundaries, and features of the 3rd, 4th, and lateral ventricles (AN63.1)
  • Describe the anatomical basis of congenital hydrocephalus (AN63.2)
  • Describe the olfactory, visual, auditory, and gustatory pathways (AN63.3)

INSTRUCTIONS

The visual pathway is the highest yield topic in this module — master the field defects for each lesion level. The ventricular system must be known anatomically for procedural localisation (shunt placement, neuroendoscopy).
