Abstract: Objective To study the relationship between the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) volume and intracranial measurement line in normal Chinese by useing CT data and computer technology.Methods By CT scan,to measure CSF volume and third ventricle maximum width,suprasellar cistern minimus width,lateral ventricle width in hypothalamic layer,caudate nucleus pitch and other index by age and gender in 178 normal adults.Results There were significant difference between male and female CSF volume in the groups of 14-20 years(23 cases),31-40 years(33 cases),41-50 years(32 cases) and ＞ 60 years (13 cases)(P＜ 0.05 or ＜ 0.01).The CSF volume between male and female had significant difference (t =3.302,P =0.001).The CSF volume and third ventricle maximum width had significant correlation (r =0.685).Conclusion The third ventricle maximum width is the most closely with CSF volume.
