ABSTRACT
The frontal horn of the lateral ventricle is more medially positioned than the posterior horn; therefore, to visualize the entire ventricle optimally, the anterior aspect of the transducer must be angled medially while the posterior aspect is angled posteriorly. The lateral ventricles are frequently asymmetric, and the occipital horns may
