Periventricular lucency in hydrocephalus on computerized tomography

K Mori, T Murata, Y Nakano

    Surgical Neurology
    |November 1, 1977
    PubMed
    Summary

    Periventricular lucency in advanced hydrocephalus indicates increased water content in white matter, suggesting edema. This finding resolves after shunting, supporting the edema hypothesis over tissue loss.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Radiology
    • Pediatrics

    Background:

    • Dilated ventricles in hydrocephalus can lead to changes in periventricular white matter.
    • Understanding these changes is crucial for diagnosing and managing hydrocephalus.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the nature of periventricular lucency observed on CT scans in patients with dilated ventricles.
    • To determine if this lucency represents edema or tissue loss.

    Main Methods:

    • Computerized tomography (CT) scans of patients with dilated ventricles were analyzed.
    • Observed periventricular lucency in the frontal horn was correlated with hydrocephalus stage and post-shunting changes.

    Main Results:

    • Periventricular lucency was frequently detected in advanced stages of childhood and adult hydrocephalus.
    • This lucency diminished rapidly after shunting and ventricular size normalization.

    Conclusions:

    • The transient nature of periventricular lucency post-shunting suggests it is due to increased water content (edema) in periventricular white matter.
    • Findings are consistent with periventricular edema rather than a loss of lipids and proteins.
