Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for being on healthcaremagic.com.
I am Dr.Ajay Panwar,a neurologist,here to answer your query.
UTI (urinary tract infection) should not be the cause of ventricular enlargement.
Some other causes can be-
1)seizures
2)perinatal brain injury
3)brain infection
4)kernicterus
Is your baby having any other history except UTI?Any history of sezure?Loss of consciousness?
Further,it will be good if you can upload that MRI CD on google drive and share the link here in follow up question.Alternatively,just click good quality pictures of MRI films and upload here.That will help me better to understand the severity of situation.
Waiting for your follow up question.

And no history of seizures.
Brain infections like encephalitis and meningitis can cause the same.

Brain infections like encephalitis and meningitis can cause enlarged ventricles.
If he did not have any symptoms of brain infection,it is obvious that he did not have one as brain infections manifest with typical symptoms and signs.
Any subtle infection apart from this,should not be the cause.Unpasteurized butter consumption should not cause this,either.
If you can upload his MRI film/CD,I shall be in a better position to give advice.
