Dana, I have done some recon-all in NPH patients and didn't have any problems with NPH with large ventricles.
Best Regards

I am trying to use FreeSurfer to measure ventricular volume among patients with normal pressure hydrocephalus. I have run the first subject, whose ventricles are huge. When looking at the subcortical segmentation (aseg.mgz) in tkmedit, I saw that large portions of the ventricles are labeled as cerebral white matter or white matter hypointensities. I tried filling in the ventricles in the wm.mgz volume and then running autorecon2-wm, but this does not appear to have changed anything in the aseg.mgz segmentation nor in the aseg.stats file. Is there a way I can correct this problem, and/or prevent it when I run more NPH patients?
Thanks, Dana
