The contribution of computed tomography (CT) in the assessment of macrocrania has been examined with reference to a consecutive series of 93 cases. In the great majority a definitive diagnosis could be made without resorting to more noxious procedures. Hydrocephalus was present in 46% of this group. The incidence of macrocrania with childhood hydrocephalus and its relationship to the aetiology and other CT features was examined with reference to 109 consecutive cases with hydrocephalus shown on CT. Macrocrania was present in only 11% of cases with an underlying tumour, but in 71% with other obstructing lesions.
通过对连续93例病例的研究，探讨了计算机断层扫描（CT）在巨颅症评估中的作用。在绝大多数情况下，无需采用更有害的检查方法即可做出明确诊断。该组中46%存在脑积水。参照CT显示有脑积水的连续109例病例，研究了儿童脑积水伴巨颅症的发生率及其与病因和其他CT特征的关系。在有潜在肿瘤的病例中，巨颅症仅占11%，但在有其他阻塞性病变的病例中占71%。
