OBJECTIVE Anthropometry (measurement of body dimensions) has been used for clinical diagnosis of growth and developmental disorders during pregnancy and after birth. Different brain volumes have also been shown in abnormal developmental disorders. This study compares the different horizontal diameters of the left- and right-hand thumbnails and asymmetry of lateral cerebral ventricles in childre...

choroid plexus papillomas are rare intracranial tumors, accounting for less than 1% of all intracranial tumors in adults. however, they are relatively more common in children and constitute 1.5 to 4% of childhood intracranial tumors. in children, choroid plexus papillomas are predominately located in the lateral ventricles, followed by the forth and third ventricles and, rarely, in the cerebell...

Hemangioblastoma (HB) in the supratentorial region of the brain is rare and only a few cases are reported on intraventricular HB. HB of the lateral ventricles is even rarer. We present a case of a 30-year-old man with generalized tonic clonic seizures. The brain computed tomography showed a 5.5 cm heterogeneous mass extending into both lateral ventricles with partial enhancement. Based on the s...

OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to evaluate neuropsychological test data in school-aged children whose fetal sonograms revealed mild isolated cerebral ventriculomegaly without asymmetry of the lateral ventricles. METHODS Nine of 52 children 6 years and older with sonographic evidence of mild isolated cerebral ventriculomegaly without asymmetry of the lateral ventricles were able to b...

Enlarged ventricular size and/or asymmetry have been found markers for psychiatric illness, including schizophrenia. However, this morphometric feature is non-specific and occurs in many other brain diseases, and its variability in healthy controls is not sufficiently understood. We studied ventricular size and shape in 3D MRI (N=20) of monozygotic (N=5) and dizygotic (N=5) twin pairs. Left and...

In this study we investigated the association between morphological asymmetry and patterns of cognitive ability in dementia of Alzheimer's type (DAT). Digitized CT scans were used to estimate volumetric parameters of the brain. The volume of the cranium, brain parenchyma, the subarachnoid space, and lateral ventricles was computed. The volume of the subarachnoid space was used as an index of co...

AIMS To establish normal ranges, in preterm infants < 33 weeks' gestation, for measurements of the lateral, third, and fourth ventricles and to assess intra-observer and inter-observer reliability. To assess the effect of head position during scanning on lateral ventricle size. To determine whether sex influences ventricle size. METHODS A prospective study involving infants < 33 weeks' gestat...

Background: Lumbar motion analysis is used as a clinical method in the diagnosis and treatment of low back pain (LBP). So far, no studies have shown if manipulating the sacroiliac joint (SIJ) will change spinal kinematics.Objective: The main objectives of this study were to investigate the effects of SIJ manipulation on the lumbar kinematics in subjects with innominate rotation and to compare l...
