fourth ventricle in the midline, of normal voluùe

I do not think median here qualifies a value (eg median height). Median in anatomy refers to midline structures.
https://www.imaios.com/en/e-anatomy/anatomical-structure/med...
Median plane refers to an antero-posterior sagittal plane that passes through the midline or the middle of the body and divides it into right and left equal halves. It is a.k.a. the midline sagittal plane.

The fourth ventricle is a midline cavity located between the brainstem and the cerebellum (Matsushima, Rhoton, & Lenkey, 1982; Rhoton Jr, 2000)

However brain structures can be displaced by e.g. a tumour, a bleed within the cranial cavity.

A tumour whose greater part is situated outside
the ventricular system generally causes a larger displacement of
the ventricles than one which is exclusively intraventricular, Eut there
are exception

So here I think "median" indicates that the fourth ventricle is in its normal position, in the midline
