Cavum Veli Interpositi
Abstract
The cavum veli interpositi is located in front of the quadrigeminal (superior) cistern above the roof of the third ventricle. It develops as a result of abnormal separation of the limbs of the Fornix. In one study, the cavum veli interpositi was found in 13 of 1200 (1.1%) pneumoencephalograms, and in another study, in 53 of 158 (30) patients less than two years old.
