Choroid plexus volume in brain disorders: a systematic review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The choroid plexus is a highly vascularized structure located in the lateral, third, and fourth ventricles of the brain. Recent studies suggest that volumetric changes in choroid plexus volume are associated with progression in various brain diseases. Segmentation algorithms have significantly improved our ability to study choroid plexus volumetrics in relation to various pathologies. Thus, the specific purpose of this review was to describe to what extent choroid plexus volume estimation provides clinically relevant information in brain diseases.

Methods

An extensive literature search was conducted across Pubmed, Embase and Cochrane databases. A comprehensive, detailed qualitative descriptive analysis, and a thorough risk-of-bias assessment were performed for the
