Ventricular effacement refers to the reduction or obliteration of the normal contours of the brain's ventricles, which are fluid-filled spaces that help cushion and protect the brain. This condition often occurs due to increased intracranial pressure, swelling, or mass effect from a tumor or other space-occupying lesion. The effacement can be detected through imaging studies, such as MRI or CT scans, and may indicate a need for further medical evaluation and intervention.
