In the
brain, the
interventricular foramina (or
foramina of Monro) are channels that connect the paired
lateral ventricles with the
third ventricle at the midline of the brain. As channels, they allow
cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) produced in the lateral ventricles to reach the third ventricle and then the rest of the brain's
ventricular system. They also contain
choroid plexus, a specialized CSF-producing structure, that is continuous with that of the lateral and third ventricles, and which is also present in the fourth ventricle.
