Computerized axial tomography is a safe, non-invasive technique for measurement of ventricular size. A review of 44 children without myelodysplasia who were evaluated for inappropriately enlarging heads, documented a group of 20 children presenting at five months to two years of age with megalencephaly or mild communicating hydrocephalus. Of these, only two required shunts. At their most recent examination, the great majority of these children are developmentally normal. Serial neurological examination, developmental evaluation and head-circumference measurements, in association with computerized axial tomography, have proved effective in the assessment and management of this particular group of children with large heads.
计算机断层扫描是一种用于测量脑室大小的安全、非侵入性技术。对44名无脑发育异常且因头部异常增大接受评估的儿童进行的一项回顾性研究记录了一组20名年龄在5个月至2岁之间出现巨头症或轻度交通性脑积水的儿童。其中，只有两名儿童需要进行分流手术。在他们最近的检查中，这些儿童中的绝大多数发育正常。连续的神经学检查、发育评估和头围测量，结合计算机断层扫描，已被证明在评估和管理这一特定的大头儿童群体方面是有效的。
