Difference between left and right lateral ventricular sizes in neonates

Lateral Ventricular Size in Extremely Premature Infants: 3D MRI Confirms 2D Ultrasound Measurements

“…This confirms earlier reports by Batton and Swails (1998) and Ichihashi et al (2002). The reason behind this phenomenon remains unknown.…”

New Reference Values for the Neonatal Cerebral Ventricles

“…The occipital horn may show the earliest and fastest increase in size in infants with posthemorrhagic ventricular dilation ( 16,17 ), and even isolated occipital horn dilation may be accompanied by signs of an increased PEDIATRIC IMAGING: Reference Values for Neonatal Cerebral Ventricles Brouwer et al Table 3 Prediction on the left and asymmetry appeared to be most pronounced in the occipital horns, which is in agreement with other neonatal ( 7,(18)(19)(20) and fetal ( 21 ) US studies and with volumetric MR imaging studies in neonates ( 22 ), children, and adolescents ( 23 ). Male sex was associated with a larger ventricular size after birth, but its effect was shown to diminish in preterm infants who were followed prospectively.…”

Magnetic resonance imaging assessment of the ventricular system in the brains of adult and juvenile beagle dogs treated with posaconazole IV Solution

“…In this study, asymmetry between the right and left lateral ventricles was noted in the juvenile dogs. This observation is similar to the asymmetry seen in lateral ventricles in normal human infants (Ichihashi, et al, 2002) and corroborated in mixed breed dogs (Pivetta, et al, 2013). Extension of these findings to monkeys and rats would be of value to investigators.…”
