Ventriculomegaly is a brain condition that occurs when the [[lateral ventricle]]s become dilated. The most common definition uses a width of the [[atrium]] of the lateral ventricle greater than 10 mm.

long-standing overt ventriculomegaly syndrome.

===== Case reports =====


==== 2017 ====
Intermittent change in [[ventricular size]] is a recognised [[ventriculoperitoneal shunt complication]] but definitive imaging evidence is rare. 

Aly et al. report a 3 years old boy with a [[spinal cord astrocytoma]] and [[ventriculoperitoneal shunt placement]] who demonstrated intermittent [[ventriculomegaly]] during a single MRI scan
