Hi I am looking for some help in interpreting my son's MRI results. He is 13m old and full term birth. He has developmental delays , . The neurologist thought he might have mild cerebral palsy, but his MRI does not seem to indicate that. The report states:

Findings: Prominant subarachnoid space in B/L frontal and temporal lobes. The gray-white matter junction is within normal limits.

Impression: Mild External hydrocephalus. This may be idiopathic.

kindly give some input into this if possible.

From what I have read online, in most cases external hydrocephalus resolves itself in a few months to years. I am confused on what it means by "the ventricles are prominent" as it said in external hydrocephalus that the ventricles are normal. I am not sure how abnormal "prominent" means.

Thank you for any input!
