“…Our study showed slightly different result than that of D'Souza and Natekar et al 11 in terms of third ventricle transverse diameter (TVTD) who studied on morphometry of ventricular system for the large sample size and found the TVTD in male and female were (0.45 ± 0.29 cm) and (0.39 ± 0.17 cm) respectively, but in our current study, male width was found to be (0.44 ± 0.11 cm) comparable to their finding, whereas female width was 0.42 ± 0.10 cm which was higher than they observed. Singh et al 5 found that the TVTD was slightly lower in male (0.34 ± 0.10 cm) than in female (0.33± 0.09 cm), which is higher than our study, 0.44 ± 0.11 cm in male and 0.42 ± 0.10 cm in female. Satapara et al 7 suggests that TVTD increases with increase in age which is statistically significant, their study shows the value for age group less than 20 to be (0.34± 0.05) and for the maximum of age group 60 and above (0.92± 0.42) giving a mean of (0.52 ± 0.24).Similarly, our study shows that TVTD increases slightly with age.…”

“…4 to understand these changes the knowledge of normal morphometry and size of normal ventricular system of brain is important. 5 The advantages given by the modern imaging methods and minimally invasive technique motivated many of the researchers to study the anatomy of ventricular system and measure the distances in individuals. 3 Morphometric analysis of brain structure such as volume, shape, and size of ventricular system especially lateral ventricle, recently has become the main focus of interest in studies of some neuropsychiatric diseases like Alzheimer's.…”

Background and Objective: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) provides image acquisition of three-dimensional data and measurement in any chosen imaging plane. Objective of this study is to assess the size of ventricles of the brain of normal Nepalese people and establish the range of size of the ventricular system and compute the ventricular dimensions among different age and gender. Materials and methods: This is a cross-sectional retrospective study done at Gandaki Medical College, Pokhara. A total of 106 MRI scan data of healthy individuals were collected over a period of seven months between March to September 2019. Patients ranged between eight and eighty years of age with 58 males and 48 females. Measurements of the mean of bifrontal diameter (BFD), bihemispheric diameter (BHD), third ventricle transverse dimension (TVTD), fourth ventricle antero-posterior dimension (FVAP), fourth ventricle width (FVW), and frontal horn ratio (FHR) were done. Result: The mean of BFD, BHD, TVTD, FVAP, FVW, and FHR were found to be 3.05 ± 0.10 cm, 10.11 ± 0.40 cm, 0.43 ± 0.11 cm, 0.90 ± 0.11 cm, 1.22 ± 0.12 cm, and 0.30 ± 0.01 cm, respectively. The mean width of fourth ventricle in males and females was observed to be 1.23 ± 0.12 cm and 1.19 ± 0.11 cm respectively. There was a significant correlation of TVTD, FVAP, FHR and BFD with age with Pearson correlation coefficient 0.393 (P value <0.01), 0.259 (P value <0.01), 0.34 (P value <0.01), and 0.219 (P value <0.05) respectively. However, BHD and FVW have no correlation with age. Conclusion: Third Ventricle Traverse Dimension, FVP, FVW and FHR show almost similar or slight difference in measurement according to gender. However, BFD shows larger difference in measurement according to gender. Similarly there is no such significant difference according to age in measurement of BFD, BHD, FVAP, FVW and FHR, while TVTD measurement shows slight increased measurement according to age.

“…Analyzing the current literature on the subject, we have found that Singh et al 15 reported that the length of the third ventricle among the investigated Indian population in females (18.86 AE 8.36 mm) was greater than in males . In our study, we have identified that in the investigated population of Ukrainians, the length of the third ventricle is greater in male subjects (2.37 AE 0.40 cm) than in females (2.08 AE 0.32 cm).…”

Objectives The defining of the normal parameters of spacious relations and symmetry of the ventricular system of the brain depending on the gender and age is currently one of the topical research problems of clinical anatomy. The present research aims to identify the correlation between the morphometric parameters of the third ventricle of the brain and the shape of the skull in the middle aged people. Design This is a prospective cohort study. Setting This study was set at the Trinity School of Medicine. Participants A total of 118 normal computed tomography scans of the head of people aged from 21 to 86 years (mean age: 48.6 years ± 17.57) were selected for the study. Main Outcome Measures The anteroposterior diameter, transverse diameter, and height of the third ventricle were measured and compared in dolichocranial, mesocranial, and brachycranial individuals. Results The study has shown the presence of a statistically significant difference between morphometric parameters of the third ventricle of the brain in dolichocranial, mesocranial, and brachycranial individuals. Conclusion The morphometric parameters of the third ventricle of the brain, such as height, anteroposterior diameter, and transverse diameter, depend on the individual anatomic variability of the skull shape and gender.
