cavum vergae -->

Verga's ventricle
An inconstant, horizontal, slitlike space between the posterior one-third of the
corpus callosum and the underlying commissura fornicis (commissura
hippocampi; psalterium) resulting from failure of these two commissural plates
to fuse completely during foetal development; like the cavity of the septum
pellucidum, the space is not a true ventricle in the sense that it did not develop
from the central canal of the neural tube.
Synonym: cavum psalterii, cavum vergae, sixth ventricle
sylvian ventricle -->
cavity of septum pellucidum
A slitlike, fluid-filled space of variable width between the left and right
transparent septum, which occurs in less than 10% of human brains and may
communicate with the third ventricle.
Synonym: cavum septi pellucidi, Duncan's ventricle, fifth ventricle,
pseudocele, pseudoventricle, sylvian ventricle, ventricle of Sylvius, ventriculus
quintus, Vieussens' ventricle, Wenzel's ventricle.
