Abstract

Aims and objectives: A prospective study was done to establish the range of normal values of measurements of the ventricular system by use of MRI. Materials and methods: This hospital based cross-sectional study conducted at Department of Radiodiagnosis of Dr. B.V.P. Rural Medical College PIMS (DU), Loni, Maharashtra, India. All patients attending at Radiodiagnosis & Imaging Department of Dr. B.V.P. Rural Medical College and Hospital and had normal MRI scan of brain were the study population. Results: Only third ventricle width and fourth ventricle transverse width showed statistically significant results with age. Only third ventricle width showed statistically significant results with gender. Frontal Horn Width, Third Ventricle Width and Fourth Ventricle Transverse Width (FVW) showed positive significant correlation with age. Conclusion: Frontal horn width, third ventricle width and fourth ventricle transverse width (FVW) showed positive significant correlation with age. Thus, knowledge of these parameters is of immense importance while diagnosing various neurological and psychiatric disorders associated with ventriculomegaly.
