Abstract

Background and aims: The lateral ventricle lies in each cerebral hemisphere with its three horns and body. The study of normal and variant anatomy of ventricles of brain is very useful for clinicians and neurosurgeons in their routine practice. This study is directed to look for the changes in size of occipital and temporal horn of lateral ventricle as per age and sex of cadaveric brain. Materials and Methods: 32 brains (20 males and 12 females) of cadavers with age ranging from 31 to 90 years were dissected and the lengths of occipital and temporal horns were measured. Data was analyzed with respect to age and sex of cadavers. Results: It was observed that mean lengths of both the horns increases with advancing age. No significant gender difference in dimensions of both the horns of lateral ventricle was observed. Conclusion: The present study showed that the age factor is responsible for change in the size of occipital and temporal horns of lateral ventricle. The present study will be helpful to radiologist and neurosurgeons to differentiate the enlarged size of occipital and temporal horns by aging from that of other pathological conditions.
