RESUMEN

This study aimed to perform quantitative and qualitative evaluations of the lateral and third ventricles, and brain parenchyma, in healthy dogs of different skull conformations on CT scans. Forty-five adult client-owned dogs were divided into three groups according to skull conformation: G1 (dolichocephalic)-15 German Shepherds; G2 (mesaticephalic)-15 Rottweilers; G3 (brachycephalic)-15 Boxers. Transverse plane images were used for quantitative and qualitative evaluations of the lateral ventricles and third ventricle, and pre- and post-contrast brain parenchyma. The height of both ventricles and brain was measured at the level of the interthalamic adhesion. Ventricle height, brain height, and ventricle/brain height ratio were statistically higher in G3 compared with G1 and G2 that were similar. The third ventricle was visible but unmeasurable in five dogs from G1 and three from G2. In G3, all dogs had third ventricle visible and measurable in all images. Asymmetric ventricles were seen in five dogs in Group 1 and Group 2, and seven in Group 3. Brain parenchyma had homogenous density in 80% of the dogs in all groups. Contrast enhancement of the rostral midline was visualized in all dogs. In conclusion, brain CT scans of healthy dogs showed that the qualitative data were similar among groups, but lateral ventricle and brain measurements in brachycephalic dogs differed from the dolichocephalic and mesaticephalic dogs.

RESUMEN

Objectives This study was done to evaluate the normal fetal cerebral lateral ventricle dimensions with transabdominal ultrasonography. The atrial width (AW), ventricle-to-choroid measurement (V-C), ventricle-to-hemisphere ratio (VHR), and combined anterior horn measurement (CAHM) were taken. Methods This was a cross-sectional study involving 400 normal singleton pregnant subjects whose gestational ages were between 14 and 40 weeks. Transabdominal sonography was performed to obtain the values of the fetal cerebral lateral ventricle (FCLV) parameters. Data were reported as mean ± standard deviation (SD) for continuous variables. The degrees of correlation between FCLV parameters and the estimated gestational age (EGA) were obtained using Pearson's correlation. Regression equations were used to generate the reference limits for the FCLV measurements. Results The values of AW, V-C measurements and CAHM increased with advancing gestation. The mean values of the AW, V-C and CAHM from 14 to 40 weeks increased from 6.60 ± 0.94 mm to 9.75 ± 0.07 mm (R2 = 0.114), 0.80 ± 0.00 mm to 1.90 ± 0.14 mm (R2 = 0.266), and 6.95 ± 0.06 mm to 23.07 ± 4.02 mm (R2 = 0.692) respectively, while the mean VHR decreased from 61.20 ± 1.60% to 42.84 ± 2.91% (R2 = 0.706) over the same period. Conclusion The AW, V-C, and CAHM increase, while VHR decreases with advancing gestation.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: To establish reference values for the fetal atrium lateral ventricle measurements in the second and third trimesters of pregnancy in a Brazilian population. METHODS: A retrospective cross-sectional study was performed with low-risk pregnant women who underwent ultrasound examination at 16-41 weeks of gestation. The atrium of lateral ventricle measurement was performed in the transventricular plane at the end of choroid plexus. We assessed reference curves (percentiles 5th, 50th and 95th) for the atrium of lateral ventricle measurement with gestational age (GA), using the best-fit polynomial equation, and determination coefficient (R(2)) and modeling the variability. RESULTS: The fetal atrium of lateral ventricle measurements was assessed in 519 singleton pregnancies. However, seven fetuses were excluded because of central nervous system malformations, and therefore data from 512 pregnancies were included in the analysis. The mean ± standard deviation (range) of the fetal atrium lateral ventricle measurement (mm) was 5.1 ± 1.4 (1.6-9.7). A best-fit curve was a first-degree polynomial regression: atrium lateral ventricle = 6.455 - 0.049 × GA (R(2) = 0.05). CONCLUSION: Reference values for the fetal atrium lateral ventricle measurements in the second and third trimesters of pregnancy in a Brazilian population were established.

RESUMEN

PURPOSE: To evaluate morphology of lateral ventricles of ventriculomegaly/hydrocephaly fetuses using 3D-sonography by virtual organ computer-aided analysis (VOCAL) technique and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and verify morphologic patterns related to etiology. METHODS: Seventeen fetuses presenting with ventricular enlargement (atria > 10 mm) were evaluated. 3D datasets were acquired from a coronal reference plane and post-processed by the rotational imaging using VOCAL 30°. MRI study was analyzed in the three plans in all sequences. Morphologic aspects such as global shape, anterior, posterior and inferior horn characteristics, wall irregularities and deformities were analyzed and related to etiology factor. RESULTS: Twenty-nine percent of the cases were secondary to Arnold-Chiari syndrome and presented with global dilation of the three-horns. Cases related to aqueduct stenosis presented with ependymal rupture and wall irregularities in advanced cases. Corpus callosum agenesis cases presented with small ventricular volumes, thin shape, normal or slightly enlarged anterior and inferior horns with dilation restricted to posterior horn. Cases related to trisomy 18 and cytomegalovirus presented irregular ventricular walls associated with anomalous ventricular shapes, suggesting parenchymal destruction. CONCLUSION: Ventricular morphology evaluation gives important information on etiology of ventricular enlargement, supporting prognosis prediction and decision making process of the affected fetuses and their families.

RESUMEN

Schizencephaly is a rare anomaly of neuronal migration characterized by the presence of brain clefts that communicate with the lateral ventricles. Type I is characterized by clefts with fused lips or margins, not communicating with the subarachnoid space. Type II is characterized by longer clefts that communicate with the subarachnoid space. Neonatal diagnosis of schizencephaly on transfontanellar two-dimensional (2D) sonography is rare, with only 1 report in the medical literature. The major limitation of 2D sonography is its inability to assess neonatal prognosis. There are no reports on MEDLINE about the use of transfontanellar three-dimensional (3D) sonography in the assessment of schizencephaly. We present a case of type II schizencephaly diagnosed on the 29th week of gestation with 2D sonography and describe the main findings with 3D sonography in surface and transparency modes performed in the neonatal period via the fontanel.

RESUMEN

UNLABELLED: Cavernous malformations are uncommon lesions that are usually present in the cerebral hemispheres. They occur rarely in the ventricular system, and even more rarely in the lateral ventricle. Only 28 cases have been previously reported in the literature. CASE: We present one case of lateral ventricle cavernoma in a 15-years-old female patient, who suffered of mild chronic headache for 8 months, followed by two episodes of sudden intensive headache and stupor with complete recovery after 48 hours. CT scan was performed and revealed a voluminous size, hiperdense mass in the frontal horn of the lateral ventricle. The surgical access to site was through transcallosal interhemisphere approach. The patient had a good recovery without complications. CONCLUSION: Although lateral ventricle cavernomas are rare they should be considered in the differential diagnosis of intraventricular tumors. A wrong preoperative diagnosis has sometimes induced a wrong therapy, such as radiotherapy, for these surgically curable benign lesions.
