Ventricular enlargement in pediatric TBI is a common observation in clinical practice, yet volumetric studies of ventricle volume are sparse. In this study, MRIs and neuropsychological testing were performed on children who had sustained a traumatic brain injury (n=38) and control children (n=34) between the ages of six and eighteen years. Children with traumatic brain injury (mean GCS=9.0) wer...

The filling patterns of a negative contrast material (air), a positive contrast water soluble material (Conray), and a positive contrast water insoluble material (Myodil) were examined in 60 normal ventriculograms. Using a scoring system developed for this study, Conray was found effective for outlining the ipsilateral (injected) lateral ventricle, the third ventricle, the aqueduct of Sylvius, ...
