“…Since the aqueduct of Sylvius can be considered a CSF vessel, about 15 mm in length and 1-2 mm in width, that connects the third and the fourth brain ventricles (Brinkmann et al, 2000;Flyger and Hjelmquist, 1957;Longatti et al, 2007;Mascalchi et al, 1988), this technique has also been applied to aqueductal CSF flow Brinkmann et al, 2000;Mark and Feinberg, 1986;Mascalchi et al, 1988). The aqueduct is a suitable location for the characterization of CSF flow since it is a narrow structure, which results in a higher velocity (several cm/s) than, for example, in the third ventricle.…”
