“…The significance of the demonstration of cerebral atrophy on CAT scanning has been discussed by Claveria et al (1977) without conclusive findings. It is possible that CAT scanning may overestimate the presence of cerebral atrophy.…”

“…'9 The clinical significance of this finding is uncertain although in adults it has been shown that degrees of cerebral atrophy found on CT brain scan do not correlate with psychometric assessment in dementia. 20 Psychometric assessment failed to demonstrate convincing differences in cognitive functioning between the HE and control groups. There are indications that these children will have educational difficulties in addition to those expected on the basis of absences from school-that is in reading.…”

“…Die vorliegende Studie bezieht sich ausschließlich auf die Resultate der Vermessungen im Bereich der Seitenventrikel; auf die äußeren Liquorräume wird nicht näher eingegangen. .. , Bei einem anderen Teil dieser Patienten mit klinischer Symptomatik im Sinne einer beginnenden Demenz ist das CT negativ (2). In solchen Fällen ist zwar die klinische Diagnose ,,Demenz" zulässig, nicht aber die Diagnose ,,Hirnatrophie".…”

The possibilities of differentiation between a "normal" and an "enlarged" ventricular system by means of Computerized Tomography are limited. The main problems are the definition of the Normal Population and the fact that a certain methodical error in measurement is not to be avoided. On the other hand, that differentiation is essential for the diagnosis of Ventricular Enlargement, Hydrocephalus internus and Brain Atrophy. The daily practice requires a method, which allows an accurate measurement as well as a quick and simple performance. The evaluation of the width of the lateral ventricles by means of the Ventricle-Index-Quotient (VIQ) and of the Ventricle-Waist-Quotient (VTQ) is likely to meet all these requirements. The results have been obtained from the computer-tomograms of 53 men and 69 women (n = 122), aged between 15 and 80 years. A statistically significant correlation was found between the VIQ- and VTQ-values on the one hand, and the patient's ages on the other. Consequently, whether normal values or the diagnosis of brain atrophy are in question, the patient's age has always to be considered.
