The subcommissural organ (SCO) of the congenital hydrocephalus spontaneously occurring
in CWS/Idr rats was severely reduced in size and displaced at some distance from the
anterior end of the cerebral aqueduct. The cerebral aqueduct of the hydrocephalic rats was
open throughout its total length during postnatal days 1–20, though it was somewhat
narrower at its middle region than in the normal brain.
