Abstract
Real time ultrasonography has been used to follow sequentially the changing size of the cerebral ventricles in an infant with posthemorrhagic hydrocephalus. A method for quantitating ventricular size is presented and the rapidity with which ventricular size decreases following removal of cerebrospinal fluid is demonstrated.
