Abstract
We have studied the subcommissural organ of two hydrocephalic brains, of 20 and 21 gestational weeks and of two normal brains, aged 19 and 2 3 gestational weeks. Both hydrocephalic cases presented a size reducti on of the subcommissural organ compared to the normal cases; only in o ne case, there were also alterations of the morphological components o f the subcommissural organ, suggesting different pathogenic relationsh ips between hydrocephalus and dysplasia of the subcommissural organ.
