The anterior horn width is a marker of ventricular dilatation. It is predominantly used in prenatal and neonatal imaging to determine ventriculomegaly.

The anterior horn width is the diagonal width of the anterior horn at its widest point in the coronal plane ¹. In neonates, this is obtained through the anterior fontanelle.
