Hydrocephalic neonates were observed in a small breeding colony of rats. Normal rats from this colony were obtained and brother-sister mated for seven generations. The overall prevalence of hydrocephalics was approximately 23%; however, in one subline, the prevalence approached 50%. Breeding data suggested the trait to be polygenic. Hydrocephalics could be detected at 1-2 days of age, and survived for 4-5 weeks. Dilatation of the ventricles was restricted to the lateral ventricles. No evidence of developmental anomalies was seen within the ventricles. Preliminary evidence suggested that the pathophysiology may be related to poorly developed veins in the periosteal-dural layers and to underdeveloped pia-arachnoid cells. The hydrocephalus was classified as being of the communicating type.
