What Causes Asymmetrical Brain Ventricles?
I recently had a CT scan and have been told I have asymmetrical brain ventricles, I was a premature baby and wonder it this is the reason. I also was diagnosed with Giant cell and polymyalgia 2 years ago, I went on a 18 month course of prednisone stating at 60 mgs a day.I have also been treated for depression for many years. I have not been told I have mental illness but I feel like I do sometimes. I work and take care of myself, however I cannot maintain a relationship as I become too stressed out and am angry a lot of the time.Do you have any idea as to why I have asymmetrical brain ventricles?

Asymmetrical brain ventricles in your case can be due to hypoxic brain injury during birth or as a part of normal variant. Please mention the associated brain parenchymal findings to comment better. Symptoms you are describing are not due to these asymmetrical ventricles.Hope my answer will help you. Take care. Don't forget to rate me.
