Necropsy measurements of cerebral ventricular volume and pericerebral space in senile dementia patients and age-matched controls indicate that ventricular enlargement is not an accurate diagnostic marker for cerebral atrophy. Furthermore, ventricles are of normal size for age in about 40% of all senile dementia patients including those with Alzheimer's disease.
对老年痴呆症患者及年龄匹配的对照组进行尸检测量脑室容积和脑周间隙,结果表明脑室扩大并非脑萎缩的准确诊断标志物。此外,在包括患有阿尔茨海默病的所有老年痴呆症患者中,约40%的患者脑室大小与年龄相符。
