Introduction: Cerebral ventricular enlargement occurs as a natural aging process but also has been associated with many neurological disorders. Whether this enlargement is primary or secondary to these pathological conditions remains controversial. Objective of the study was to tabulate and create normal references values for maximum width of third ventricle in Nepalese population according to age group and gender. Methods: MTW was determined in two hundred (112 males and 88 females) and age ranging between 1- 93 years who had normal Computed tomography scan (CT scan) of the head .The data collected was analyzed with statistical program IBM SPSS version 20. Results: Measurements of MTW in both males and females of the normal groups revealed no significant difference. No significant difference in MTW was noticed till the age of 49 years. Significant differences were noticed between 49 - 93 years of age. Conclusions: This study corroborated well with normal MTW values published in literatures from other parts of the world. However normal values specific to our local population becomes more relevant in interpreting CT scan of head in Nepal. Keywords: cerebral atrophy; computed tomography scan; hydrocephalus; maximum width of third ventricle.

BACKGROUND: Computed Tomography in the diagnosis of pathologies in children is becoming increasingly popular.AIMS: To document indications and findings of referrals for CT scan in children in a private Radio - diagnostic Center in a developing environment.METHOD: Children aged 6 months to 13 years referred to a private Radio - diagnostic Center, between June 2015 to June 2016 were studied. Patients were examined using GE CT Brivo 385 machine.RESULT: Forty - seven children were referred for CT scan during the period. Of these 45 (95.47%) were referred from the Teaching Hospital located in the same city. A brain scan was most commonly performed (93.6%) while the frequency of abdominal CT was (6.4%). The main indications for the referrals were delayed milestones (61.7%) and seizures (17.0%). The major findings were cerebral atrophy 26 (55.32%), and cerebral infarction 3 (6.38%).CONCLUSION: This study shows a predominance of brain CT scan request in children, delayed milestones and seizures being the most common indications, while cerebral atrophy and cerebral infarction were the common brain findings. In the absence of MRI, CT scan provides a suitable alternative for imaging of the brain and abdominal pathologies in a developing environment like ours.
