4A3-5 In these coronal sections there is gelatinous cavitation of the white matter with sparing of the U fibers. There is cortical atrophy and loss of some deep gray matter. Unfortunately, there are no images of the Aqueduct of Sylvius which is described as stenotic with a pinpoint opening. The fourth ventricle is patent and of normal size. The cerebellum and its white matter is preserved. The cord is of normal size and shape, however, the areas of grey and white matter are indistinctly demarcated.
