The choroid plexus, or plica choroidea, is a plexus of cells that arises from the tela choroidea in each of the ventricles of the brain. [1] Regions of the choroid plexus produce and secrete most of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of the central nervous system .
The majority of the CSF is formed in the choroid plexus and flows through the brain along a distinct pathway: moving through the cerebral ventricular system, into the subarachnoid space surrounding the brain, then draining into the systemic blood column via arachnoid granulations of the dural sinuses or to peripheral lymphatics along cranial ...
The ependyma and vascular pia mater – the tela choroidea, form regions of minute projections known as a choroid plexus that projects into each ventricle. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] The choroid plexus produces most of the cerebrospinal fluid of the central nervous system that circulates through the ventricles of the brain, the central canal of the spinal ...
Most (about two-thirds to 80%) of CSF is produced by the choroid plexus. [1] [2] The choroid plexus is a network of blood vessels present within sections of the four ventricles of the brain. It is present throughout the ventricular system except for the cerebral aqueduct, and the frontal and occipital horns of the lateral ventricles. [21]
[1] [2] Within each ventricle is a region of choroid plexus which produces the circulating cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). The ventricular system is continuous with the central canal of the spinal cord from the fourth ventricle, [ 3 ] allowing for the flow of CSF to circulate.
Narrowing of the foramen is more common in children [6] and linked to: inflammation and scarring from congenital infections, particularly TORCH infections; developmental abnormalities, including of the basilar artery and choroid plexus; and abnormal surrounding tissue growths, such as colloid cysts, subependymal giant-cell tumours, nodules and ...
It is typically a branch of the internal carotid artery which supplies the choroid plexus of lateral ventricle and third ventricle as well as numerous structures of the brain. Occlusion of the artery can result in loss of sensation, loss of part of the visual field, and impaired movement, all on the opposite side of the body as the occlusion.
[1] [2] The choroid fissure, in this sense, is the narrow cleft along the medial wall of the lateral ventricle, where the choroid plexus is attached at the margins. [3] [4] Not to be confused with the choroidal fissure of the eye. On lateral angiograms, the plexal point is seen to be 18–26 mm from the origin of the anterior choroidal artery ...
