Computerized tomography was used to measure cerebral ventricular size in hospitalized alcoholic patients, all of whom had evidence of liver disease. Twelve alcoholic patients with neurologic symptoms such as withdrawal seizures, neuropathy, and drug overdose were included. All these patients had normal results from the mental status examinations by the time of discharge. Alcoholic patients had a much higher mean ventricular size compared to 60 control patients. One third of the alcoholics had markedly enlarged ventricles as opposed to only one of the 60 controls.
计算机断层扫描用于测量住院酒精性患者的脑室大小，所有这些患者均有肝脏疾病的证据。纳入了12名有诸如戒断性癫痫发作、神经病变和药物过量等神经症状的酒精性患者。所有这些患者出院时精神状态检查结果均正常。与60名对照患者相比，酒精性患者的平均脑室大小要高得多。三分之一的酒精性患者脑室明显增大，而60名对照患者中只有1人如此。
