Detailed explanation-1: -Although the sex difference in LV mass before puberty was not statistically significant, in each age group boys had 5% to 8% higher LV mass than girls. In contrast, the sex difference in LV mass between adult men and women in different age strata was 25% to 38%.
Detailed explanation-2: -Two of the main factors that cause enlarged ventricles are: An injury or problem with brain development around the ventricles. A blockage or imbalance in the ventricular system which prevents spinal fluid from moving or being absorbed normally.
Detailed explanation-3: -Ventriculomegaly is a condition in which the ventricles appear larger than normal on a prenatal ultrasound. This can occur when CSF becomes trapped in the spaces, causing them to grow larger. Ventricles develop early in pregnancy and can be seen on a prenatal ultrasound in the second trimester, at about the 15th week.
Detailed explanation-4: -Brain imaging studies reveal that people with schizophrenia have enlarged ventricles, the cavities within the brain that contain cerebral spinal fluid (Green, 2001).
