External hydrocephalus (EH) is a condition in which infants with rapidly enlarging heads are found to have a CT [computed tomogram] scan that shows widening of the subarachnoid space with mild or no ventricular dilation. The characteristic CT findings in EH are bifrontal widening of the subarachnoid space and widened interhemispheric fissure frontally with only mild enlargement of the rest of the subarachnoid space.  2, record 1, English, - external%20hydrocephalus
