title: CT measurement of the normal brain ventricular system in 100 adults.
abstract: Examination of 100 voluntary cases with no physical or neurological deficit revealed that the sizes of the cerebral ventricles increase with age in both sexes. According to regression analysis in women, increase in the size of the third ventricle by age was statistically significant. Compared to women, the size of the third ventricle was larger in men. In the measurements of the lateral ventricles, it was observed that bifrontal the cerebroventricular index in men and the bicaudal cerebroventricular index in women increase significantly with age. The indices showed no significant difference between the two sexes.
