resorption in young children (who have few arachnoid villi). Accelerated head growth may continue until 12 to 18 months of age and then usually stabilizes as a form of megalence-phaly. Imaging features of BECC include normal to mildly enlarged lateral and third ventricles and symmetric enlarge-ment of the frontal subarachnoid spaces ...

malacia, brain malformations, and hydrocephalus. To establish the presence of hydrocephalus the size of the ventricular system, especially the lateral ventricles, must be known. Measurements of normal ventricular size in adults and children over 1 year have been widely reported [1-5], but only a few papers deal with ventricular

They all had had shunting of the lateral ventricles for hydrocephalus, and all needed subsequent shunt revisions. Seven patients without

called CSF) surrounding the brain. Normally, CSF surrounds the brain and spinal cord; CSF helps cushion the brain and spinal cord, as well as delivers nutrients to the brain and removes waste. Excess CSF results in dilation (opening) of the four ventricles (spaces around the brain) and increases the pressure on the brain.

conditions, a person should have one ounce of spinal fluid in the ventricles and about four ounces of spinal fluid around the outside of the brain.

brain. The ventricles are connected to the spinal cord and the covering of the brain. These connections let fluid flow through the baby’s brain and spine. If fluid is not flowing in the usual way, it can build-up in the ventricles. In other cases, a problem in the way the brain formed leaves extra space for the fluid in the ventricles.

look at your fetus?s brain and measure the ventricles. If the lateral ventricles are 10 millimeters or greater in size then you will be told that your fetus has "ventriculomegaly". Sometimes the ultrasound will only show one of the ventricles even though there are two (one on the right, and one on the left side).
