Ultrasound detection of changing ventricular size in posthemorrhagic hydrocephalus

Pediatrics. 1980 Nov;66(5):674-8.

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.
