What does mild enlargement of bilateral lateral ventricles mean?

Generally, slightly enlarged bilateral lateral ventricles refers to ventriculomegaly of the bilateral lateral ventricles. The specific details are as follows:

Ventriculomegaly of the bilateral lateral ventricles may be associated with factors such as trauma or meningitis, and may cause symptoms including headache, dizziness, and other discomforts. Trauma may disrupt cerebrospinal fluid circulation, leading to enlargement of the bilateral lateral ventricles. Meningitis may result in cerebral vessel rupture, allowing blood to enter the subarachnoid space, causing adhesions between the arachnoid and pia mater, which can lead to obstructive hydrocephalus and ultimately result in bilateral lateral ventricular enlargement. If a patient presents with bilateral lateral ventricular enlargement, they should seek timely medical attention based on the degree of enlargement. Diagnosis should be confirmed via CT or MRI scans, and possible hydrocephalus due to cerebral infarction should be evaluated.

It should be noted that mild ventricular dilation does not require special treatment; regular observation and follow-up examinations are sufficient. Additionally, medications such as mecobalamin tablets or oryzanol tablets may be taken orally as directed by a physician. During recovery, patients should ensure adequate rest, avoid prolonged熬夜 (staying up late), and engage in moderate outdoor exercise to promote physical recovery.
