Computed tomographic evaluation of cerebral disorder in pediatric population

ABSTRACT

A total of 110 computed tomographic scans of the brain in pediatric population were reviewed. They wereretrospectively analyzed focusing on the ventricular dilatation, widening of subdural space in frontal region andprominence of cerebral sulci in hemisphere. The results were compared with clinical recored. In the measurementbicaudate ventricular index waas above 0.18, which ws considered ventricular dilatation. The subdural space in thefrontal region and teh prominent cerbral sulci in the hemisphere were visualized among the cases aged over twoyears with clinical evidence of cerbral problem is pediatric population. The diagnostic application of CT to thecases of cerebral disorder in pediatric population is highly recommended.
