Abstract
Three cases are presented of symptomatic cysts or membranes within the thir d ventricle interfering with CSF flow and presenting as non-communicating t riventricular hydrocephalus. None was visible on conventional CT or MRI, tw o being discovered at neuroendoscopy and one only with a specific MRI seque nce designed to show CSF partitioning.
