French term

***carrefour*** ventriculaire gauche

French to English Medical Medical: Cardiology
The complete sentence is: Indication: Bilan d'une lesion de la region de carrefour ventriculaire gauche.
Whilst I understand all the words perfectly, I am not quite sure what "carrefour" means in the context of "left ventricular ????".

Discussion

liz askew Nov 1, 2006:
sorry, but where is the evidence for this answer?? I've hardly seen ANY refs to "ventricular junction"; the refs concern "atrio-ventricular junction/aorto-ventricular junction". This is just not clear in my mind. Am I missing the obvious or what?

ventricular junction

gets nearly 10,000 googles, so "left ventricular junction" should be taken into consideration

left lateral ventricular segment/ventricle/central part of left lateral ventricle

I have only come across "carrefour ventriculaire gauche" in the context of brain morphology.

Introduction : les kystes arachnoïdiens intraventriculaires sont une entité rare dont l’étiopathogénie
de leur localisation discutée, rejoint celle évoquée pour les méningiomes intraventriculaires.
Lorsqu’ils deviennent symptomatiques différents traitements chirurgicaux sont proposés :
fenestration, excision , shunt, radiothérapie intracavitaire. Les techniques neuroendoscopiques
actuelles permettent un traitement aussi efficace et fiable que la chirurgie conventionnelle tout en
étant moins invasive et moins morbide.
Cas cliniques : nous rapportons et illustrons (vidéo) 2 cas symptomatiques de kystes arachnoïdiens
multicloisonnés chez l’adulte.
Le premier de localisation lenticulaire gauche chez une femme de 39 ans est responsable de troubles
objectifs de l’équilibre et de céphalées associé à une hydrocéphalie. Le second est localisé au niveau
du carrefour gauche chez une femme de 74 ans et est responsable d’une hémiparésie spastique
droite évolutive. Une fenestration des kystes avec mise en communication au système ventriculaire
a été réalisée par endoscopie guidée par neuronavigation. Une ventriculocisternostomie a été
associée dans le premier cas. Le caractère arachnoïdien a été confirmé par les différents biopsies.
L’évolution clinique et radiologique est à court terme (6 mois) satisfaisante.
Conclusions : le traitement endoscopique guidé par neuronavigation est efficace et diminue la
morbidité par sa qualité peu invasive. Cependant un suivi radio-clinique reste indispensable pour ce
type de lésion vu le recul de 6 mois actuel de notre série et la description anatomoclinique toujours
peu connue pour ce type de kystes arachnoïdiens.

The center part of the lateral ventricle is appropriately named the central part of the lateral ventricle. The central part of the lateral ventricle is also known as the central body and the cella media. Above the central part of the lateral ventricle is the corpus callosum (see above). The middle of the central part of the lateral ventricle is formed by the back part of the septum pellucidum (see above).

Le carrefour ventriculaire, comme son nom l'indique, correspond à la zone de communication des 3 cornes des VL : frontale, temporale, occipitale."

Note from asker:
Sorry about that, Liz. Actually, in the end I rang the American Hospital in Paris, whose report this was, and asked the doctor.
