Tumours of the septum pellucidum (SP) are rare and seldom associated with memory impairment either before or after operation. A patient is described who developed amnesia after transcallosal excision of a tumour of the SP. Radiology did not show any major lesion of the brain areas traditionally associated with amnesia. Because septal nuclei could have been damaged during surgery their possible role in memory functions is discussed.

Aim: The aim of this study is to assess associated cerebral supratentorial anomalies in patients who underwent myelomeningocele repair in hopes of developing a better morphological apprehension of the forebrain's anomalies in this category of patients.
Material And Methods: This retrospective observational study assessed 426 pediatric patients who underwent myelomeningocele repair between January 2013 and December 2020. Cranial MRIs with T1- and T2-weighted sequences were obtained as part of the postoperative assessment to determine the presence of associated supratentorial anomalies in pediatric patients following myelomeningocele repair.

Evaluation of the cavum septum pellucidum is required in standard second-trimester screening fetal anatomy ultrasound scans. The absence of septum pellucidum triggers further evaluation and referral for subspecialty counseling. Absence of septum pellucidum is linked to other midline anomalies including septo-optic dysplasia.

Background: "Dangling choroid" is a prenatal sonographic marker of ventriculomegaly that measures the angle of choroid plexus (ChP) displacement in the lateral ventricle. To the authors' knowledge, postnatal sequelae related to this pathology, besides hydrocephalus, have never been reported.
Observations: A female fetus was diagnosed with bilateral ventriculomegaly.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the visibility of the fetal optic chiasm and optic tracts through ultrasound and establish reference values for mid-trimester fetuses.
- It included 154 normal fetuses at 19-23 weeks of gestation, measuring various dimensions using a specific ultrasound technique, successfully visualizing OC and OTs in 70.8% of cases.
- Results showed that the dimensions of OC and OTs were positively correlated with measurements of the cavum septum pellucidum, as well as other growth indicators like biparietal diameter and head circumference.
