We studied the morphometric MRI findings and their correlation with cognitive functions in a population of 10 young adults shunted for @entity1276 related to @entity3570 . Morphometric MRI analysis included measurement of the @entity2554 index, frontal and occipital parenchymal thickness and the size of the corpus callosum. The neuropsychological status was evaluated, notably to look for a discrepancy between verbal and performance skills, a finding which has previously been described in hydrocephalic @entity1 . We also investigated whether there was a correlation between cognitive function and cerebral morphometric indexes. In each case, MRI demonstrated the structural changes associated with the @entity1645 . The size of the lateral ventricles varied, ranging from important dilatation to small ventricles. Six @entity1 had only partial development of the corpus callosum. All @entity1 had a normal global IQ. In our population of young adults, we did not observe any discrepancy between verbal and visuospatial performances as has been described in @entity1 with @entity1276 . We found no relationship between cognitive function and ventricle dilatation or parenchymal thickness or between the size of the corpus callosum and callosal transfer.
