Prevalence of cavum septum pellucidum and/or cavum Vergae in brain computed tomographies of Taiwanese.
2014
Objective: The reported prevalence of cavum septum pellucidum (CSP) and cavum Vergae (CV) in brain computed tomography (CT) is 5.5% in Great Britain and 1.24% in China but unknown in Taiwan. Moreover, CSP and/or CV has generally been thought to decrease as age progresses, but the evidence of actual prevalence at different age levels is still limited in the literature. Methods: A total of 19,031 patients with brain CT at a regional hospital in northern Taiwan from July 2008 to August 2010 were included in this study. Their radiological official reports were .05). Results: 29 years (1.56%) and lowest in the group aged above 80. After age 20-29, the prevalence tends to decrease with increasing age. Conclusion: decrease as age progresses, but would reach the peak in the young adult group rather than the children or adolescent group.
