Neuroradiology Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

Changes in the width of the CSF space throughout life were studied in CT scans of 170 healthy individuals. The internal and external CSF spaces were evaluated using parameters which can also be employed in routine clinical studies. Tables of normal values for the CSF spaces at various ages are presented.
