Abstract
The computerized axial tomographic examinations of 200 normal patients and volunteers between the ages of ten to 81 years were evaluated. Determination of the ratio between the width of the brain and a dimension representing the distance between the outer borders of the lateral ventricles was made at two levels. This ratio, the cerebroventricular index, seems to be a reliable indicator of ventricular size. The standards vary with the age of the patient.
