Estimation of Normal Brain Lateral Ventricles by Using Computed Tomography

Abstract

This study was conducted with the aim of naturally measuring the lateral ventricles in Sudanese patients using CT scans in the Sharq Alneel Hospital and National Rabat Hospital in the period of time from September 2019 to December 2019, conducted on 56 patients including 33 men and 23 women, ages of 20_70 years old. The results were generally as follows: The average length of the right anterior horn was 30.521mm, the average length of the left anterior horn was 31.588mm, the average length of right posterior horn was 36.2mm, the average length of the left posterior horn was 36.62mm, the average length of the right ventricular body was 75.086mm, and the average length of the left ventricular body was 76.47mm. In men, the average length of the right anterior horn was 30.882mm, the average length of the left anterior horn was 31.955mm, the average length of right posterior horn was 37.376mm, the average length of the left posterior horn was 37.364mm, the average length of the right ventricular body was 76.158mm, and the average length of the left ventricular body was 77.515mm. In women, the average length of the right anterior horn was 30.004mm, the average length of the left anterior horn was 31.061mm, the average length of right posterior horn was 34.513mm, the average length of the left posterior horn was 35.561mm, the average length of the right ventricular body was 73.548mm, and the average length of the left ventricular body was 74.970mm. The study showed there is no difference in the average lengths of the anterior horns and bodies of the lateral ventricles with age, but there is marked difference in the lengths of the posterior horns with age. Also study showed 0.005%difference in the right lateral ventricle with weight, and 0.0003% in the left lateral ventricle with weight.
