Accession:MP:0002958 term browser browse the term
Definition:abnormal narrowing or constriction of the cerebral aqueduct that blocks the flow of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the ventricular system
Comment:Blockage of the cerebral aqueduct can lead to hydrocephalus, specifically as a common cause of congenital and/or obstructive hydrocephalus. {xref="https://www.chop.edu/conditions-diseases/hydrocephalus", comment="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aqueductal_stenosis"}
Synonyms:exact_synonym: aqueduct of Sylvius stenosis;   aqueduct of midbrain stenosis;   aqueductal stenosis;   cerebral aqueduct stenosis;   mesencephalic duct stenosis;   stenosis of midbrain cerebral aqueduct
