The tela choroidea (or tela chorioidea) is a region of meningeal pia mater that adheres to the underlying ependyma, and gives rise to the choroid plexus in each of the brain’s four ventricles. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Tela is Latin for woven and is used to describe a web-like membrane or layer. [ 3 ]
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 .
Fourth ventricle location shown in red (E), pons (B); the floor of the ventricle is to the right, the roof to the left. The fourth ventricle has a roof at its upper (posterior) surface and a floor at its lower (anterior) surface, and side walls formed by the cerebellar peduncles (nerve bundles joining the structure on the posterior side of the ventricle to the structures on the anterior side).
From the fourth ventricle, the fluid passes into the subarachnoid space through four openings – the central canal of the spinal cord, the median aperture, and the two lateral apertures. [1] CSF is present within the subarachnoid space, which covers the brain and spinal cord, and stretches below the end of the spinal cord to the sacrum .
Scheme of roof of fourth ventricle. The arrow is in the foramen of Majendie. 1: inferior medullary velum 2: Choroid plexus 3: Cerebellomedullary cistern of subarachnoid cavity 4: Central canal 5: Corpora quadrigemina 6: Cerebral peduncle 7: superior medullary velum 8: Ependymal lining of ventricle 9: Pontine cistern of subarachnoid cavity
With a median age upon diagnosis of 3.5 years, this lesion is often a disease of infancy. They often reside supratentorial in the lateral ventricles of infants (most commonly in the atrium). [4] The fourth ventricle in adults is the optimum location. [5] Adults rarely have it at the cerebellopontine angle. [4]
Within the ventricles of the brain, a population of modified ependymal cells and capillaries together known as the tela choroidea form a structure called the choroid plexus, which produces the CSF. [5] Modified tight junctions between epithelial cells control fluid release. This release allows free exchange between CSF and nervous tissue of ...
The PICA supplies blood to the medulla oblongata; the choroid plexus and tela choroidea of the fourth ventricle; the tonsils; the inferior vermis, and the inferior parts of the cerebellum. [ 1 ] Course
