A: Enlarged ventricles in the brain may be a sign of normal pressure hydrocephalus. It happens when one or more ventricals, which are normally hollow areas in the brain, have too much cerebrospinal fluid. Cerebrospinal fluid, or CSF, is made and stored in the brain's ventricles.
The ventricle size often remains normal, but the thickening may block blood flow out of the ventricle. If this happens, the condition is called obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Sometimes the septum, the wall that divides the left and right sides of the heart, thickens and bulges into the left ventricle.
