“…Multiple studies focused on the length of the different portions of the lateral ventricles of the brain utilizing computed tomography [20][21][22][23], as well as the dissection method [24]. In our understanding, the complex spatial orientation of the lateral ventricles with the curves of the frontal and temporal horns, as well as the body of the ventricle laterally from the sagittal plane and downward from the horizontal plane, does not allow to receive valid longitudinal measurements of the portions of the lateral ventricles in the axial sections without the three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction or the use of the cadaveric material where the length is directly measured on the brain specimens.…”

The evaluation of the different parameters of the brain ventricles is used in the diagnostics of age-related degenerative diseases of the central nervous system, as well as psychiatric disorders. The purpose of this study was to obtain data about the normal morphologic parameters of the lateral ventricles of the human brain and their relations with age and sex to establish a solid background for the diagnostics of any pathologic changes. Computed tomography (CT) studies of 108 healthy individuals aged from 17 to 86 (mean age: 46.87 ± 17.31) were selected for the study. The width of the different portions of the lateral ventricles was measured, and its relations with age and gender were assessed. The study has demonstrated a statistically significant dependence of the width of the different portions of the lateral ventricles on age. There was no statistically significant difference in this parameter identified between male and female groups. The width of the different portions of the lateral ventricles of the brain increases with age. Parameters are similar in males and females.
