Courvoisier-Terrier Syndrome

Coverage of Courvoisier-Terry syndrome in medicine

Synonym: Griselli-Binswanger syndrome

Courvoisier-Terry syndrome refers to abnormalities of brain development related to a defect affecting the formation of the space between the lateral ventricles of the brain. If you look at the features of the pathology from the perspective of neurosurgery, it should be noted that the boundaries between each of the ventricles become somewhat thinner. Based on the fact that the space between two different structures requires normal development and functioning, the causes of the syndrome may lie in defects affecting this space. Studies have shown that the main pathology in this syndrome is insufficient formation of the lateral walls
