Abstract

Morphometric analysis of lateral ventricles of brain is important for evaluating changes due to growth, ageing, intrinsic and
extrinsic pathologies. The present study was done to provide more information regarding size of frontal horn of lateral
ventricles of the brain in normal western UP population. The objectives of the present study were, (1) Measurement of the
dimensions of frontal horns of lateral ventricles. (2) To compare the data with reference to side, gender and different age
groups.
The present study was carried on 200 patients [100 males and 100 females] in the age group of 10-80 years. GE OPTIMA CT
660 was used for obtaining the scans.
With regard to side and gender, the length of frontal horn of right side was 29.8 mm, 28.9mm in males and females
respectively and on the left side 31.1mm, 29.9mm in males and females respectively.

Key words: Frontal horns, lateral ventricles, computed tomography
