Computed tomographic scans were obtained on 72 consecutive infants and children who were referred because of a large head; 75% had hydrocephalus. Patients who had communicating hydrocephalus had the best prognosis. Prognosis of other types of hydrocephalus was poor, especially in cases showing cystic brain disease(porencephaly, multicystic disease, hydranencephaly). Nonhydrocephalic macrocranias were accounted for mainly by premature infants who had catch-up head growth and by patients who had primary megaloencephaly associated with abnormal neurologic development.
对72例因头大而转诊的婴幼儿进行了计算机断层扫描；75%的患儿患有脑积水。交通性脑积水患儿的预后最佳。其他类型脑积水的预后较差，尤其是伴有囊性脑疾病（脑穿通畸形、多囊性疾病、积水性无脑畸形）的病例。非脑积水性巨头症主要见于头围追赶生长的早产儿以及伴有神经发育异常的原发性巨脑症患者。
