Transcranial sonographic measurement of the third ventricle to detect hydrocephalus in children population: Correlation to computed tomography.

Background: In neuro-intensive care, transcranial temporal ultrasound is used in adults and children to monitor brain-injured patients. It is accepted as a valuable tool for exploring brain structures. Our study aims to establish a correlation between the measurement of the third ventricle (V3) by transcranial ultrasound via temporal window and a reference method, computed tomography (CT), which could validate the method for hydrocephalus detection in the children population.
