Septum pellucidum

Index Septum pellucidum

The septum pellucidum (translucent wall) is a thin, triangular, vertical double membrane separating the anterior horns of the left and right lateral ventricles of the brain. [1]

Brain

The brain is an organ that serves as the center of the nervous system in all vertebrate and most invertebrate animals.

Cave of septum pellucidum

The cave of septum pellucidum (CSP), or cavum septi pellucidi, describes a slit-like space in the septum pellucidum.

Cerebral hemisphere

The vertebrate cerebrum (brain) is formed by two cerebral hemispheres that are separated by a groove, the longitudinal fissure.

Corpus callosum

The corpus callosum (Latin for "tough body"), also callosal commissure, is a wide commissure, a flat bundle of commissural fibers, about 10 cm long beneath the cerebral cortex in the brains of placental mammals.

Fornix (neuroanatomy)

The fornix (arch) is a C-shaped bundle of nerve fibers in the brain that acts as the major output tract of the hippocampus.

Grey matter

Grey matter (or gray matter) is a major component of the central nervous system, consisting of neuronal cell bodies, neuropil (dendrites and myelinated as well as unmyelinated axons), glial cells (astrocytes and oligodendrocytes), synapses, and capillaries.

Jaundice

Jaundice, also known as icterus, is a yellowish or greenish pigmentation of the skin and whites of the eyes due to high bilirubin levels.

Lateral ventricles

The lateral ventricles are the two largest cavities of the ventricular system of the human brain and contain cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).

Optic disc

The optic disc or optic nerve head is the point of exit for ganglion cell axons leaving the eye.

Pituitary gland

An explanation of the development of the pituitary gland (Hypophysis cerebri) & the congenital anomalies. In vertebrate anatomy, the pituitary gland, or hypophysis, is an endocrine gland about the size of a pea and weighing in humans.

Rhinencephalon

In animal anatomy, the rhinencephalon (from the Greek, ῥίς, rhis.

Sagittal plane

A sagittal plane or longitudinal plane is an anatomical plane which divides the body into right and left parts.

Septal nuclei

The septal nuclei (medial olfactory area) are a set of structures that lie below the rostrum of the corpus callosum, anterior to the lamina terminalis (the layer of gray matter in the brain connecting the optic chiasma and the anterior commissure where the latter becomes continuous with the rostral lamina).

Septo-optic dysplasia

Septo-optic dysplasia (SOD), (de Morsier syndrome) is a rare congenital malformation syndrome featuring underdevelopment of the optic nerve, pituitary gland dysfunction, and absence of the septum pellucidum (a midline part of the brain).

White matter

White matter refers to areas of the central nervous system (CNS) that are mainly made up of myelinated axons, also called tracts.
