From: Oral antioxidant therapy for juvenile rats with kaolin-induced hydrocephalus
Magnetic resonance (MR) images displaying progressive hydrocephalus in rats at 5 and 7Â weeks of age that underwent injection of kaolin into the cisterna magna at 3Â weeks. These T2-weighted images depict the coronal view of the cerebral cortex at the level of the frontal horn of the lateral ventricle where cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is white (bright) in the lateral and third ventricles and subarachnoid space (SAS). The control rat images are shown at the top, and the ventricles are very narrow. Ventricular enlargement is obvious in all hydrocephalic rats before treatment, and all treated groups displayed further dilatation after treatment.
