interconnecting cavities called ventricles to coat the surface of the brain, spine and major nerve roots where it is reabsorbed. The ventricles are imaged routinely as part of the ultrasound scan of the fetal brain at 18 to 20 weeks of pregnancy. The sizes of these ventricles are recorded at this examination.

In these patients, there is an 80% success rate for endoscopic third ventriculostomy. Finally, the most severe form of the slit ventricle syndrome involves intracranial hypertension without ventriculomegaly ...

Enlarged Ventricles: The differences in the MZ twins brains show that genetics or neurodevelopmental factors are not solely responsible, as only environmental factors can account for such differences. Research has shown that enlarged ventricles are found in non-schizophrenics, which contradicts this as a physical cause. Specific Brain regions:

(ventriculomegaly is the medical term for big ventricles). 13-15 mm is moderate ventriculomegaly and above 15mm severe ventriculomegaly. What happens next? The first step is to confirm the findings. It is possible to artificially make the ventricles appear larger than they are by measuring in the wrong place or at a slightly odd angle.

Many Alzheimer patients have enlarged ventricles as well as abnormal gait and bladder function. Since NPH and Alzheimer’s disease may have identical clinical features, shunting is not usually performed unless clinicians have demonstrated elevated pressure or spikes, i.e., pressure waves. 1 1 .

Possible biological causes of schizophrenia include inherited predispositions; oversensitivity to dopamine; loss, deterioration, or disorganization of certain brain cells; enlarged brain ventricles; reduced blood flow in certain parts of the brain; and abnormal brain lateralization.

Many persons with dementia have enlarged ventricles and the frequency of biopsy-proven Alzheimer’s disease ranges from 31% to 50%. Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus is a misnomer because CSF pressure is episodically elevated. Additional studies, such as therapeutic CSF withdrawal or pressure monitoring, are suggested to confirm the diagnosis of NPH.
