The posterior horns of the ventricles are 5.6cm and 5.3cm wide respectively, indicating that hydrocephalus and tumors may be present.
The normal value of the posterior horn of the lateral ventricle is less than 1cm, and the width of the posterior horn of the ventricle is 5.6cm and 5.3cm respectively, which belongs to serious enlargement.
1. Hydrocephalus: Due to the obstruction of cerebrospinal fluid circulation and excessive production, cerebrospinal fluid accumulates in the ventricles, which increases the intracranial pressure and causes headache, nausea, vomiting, etc., and widens the posterior horn of the lateral ventricle, which is larger than the normal value.
2. Tumor: The widening of the posterior horn of the ventricle can occur due to the expansion of the ventricle caused by the tumor, the poor circulation of cerebrospinal fluid caused by the tumor compression, and the patient’s combination of hydrocephalus.
If the posterior horn of lateral ventricle is widened, the patient should go to the hospital in time to find out the cause of the disease and get symptomatic treatment.
