Abstract

This study was undertaken to compare the accuracy of measurements of the venticular system obtained by the CT scanner and pneumoencephalography (PEG). In it the ventricular system was evaluated in each case by measuring the span of the frontal horns, cellae mediae and third ventricle in relation to the diameter of the inner and outer tables of the skull from the PEG films. The indices of Evans, Schiersmann, and Schaltenbrand and Nürnberger were applied to these measurements. The same indices were obtained using the appropriate CT printouts. A very good measure of agreement was obtained with the indices arrived at from both the CT scan printouts and the pneumoencephalograms.
