| Ratio between ventricular and pericerebral CSF volume | 0.81 (±0.28) | 0.96 (±0.22) |
| Bladder function | n = 4 | n = 19 |
| Ventricular volume ratio | 0.11 (±0.03) | 0.10 (±0.02) |
| Brain volume ratio | 0.76 (±0.03) | 0.78 (±0.02) |

Note:—Ventricular volume, brain volume, and pericerebral CSF volume were converted into ratios from total intracranial volume to normalize for head size.
