Abstract

Objective: This study investigates the morphological characteristics of the corpus callosum and ventricular system using magnetic resonance imaging, while assessing their correlation with age and gender in the adult Vietnamese population. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study design was utilized involving 496 adults (average age 49.9 ± 14.9) who underwent brain MRI at Tam Anh General Hospital. Parameters such as the Evans Ratio, ventricular diameters, length, thickness, and angle of the corpus callosum were collected on PACS. Data was analyzed using SPSS software version 20.0. Results: The diameters of the frontal and temporal horns and the Evans' ratio increased with age, particularly in the group over 60 years old (p < 0.05). Males had a greater length of the corpus callosum than females (64.3 ± 3.8 mm compared to 61.2 ± 3.7 mm; p < 0.01). An angle of the corpus callosum < 90º was more common in patients with signs of ventricular dilation. There was no significant gender difference in the thickness of the corpus callosum parts. Conclusion: The size and morphology of the ventricular system and corpus callosum change with age and gender. These data provide an important foundation for the diagnosis and monitoring of neurological diseases in Vietnam.
