Introdução. Variantes anatômicas dos ventrículos cerebrais são marcadores de desenvolvimento anormal do sistema nervoso central (SNC). Elas são mais prevalentes em distúrbios neuropsiquiátricos. No entanto, o conhecimento sobre os fatores de risco e a sua prevalência na população em geral, especialmente nos países em desenvolvimento, ainda é limitado. Objetivo. Avaliar os fatores demográficos que influenciam a prevalência de cava cerebral em dois hospitais privados do Brasil. Método. Avaliamos a prevalência de variantes anatômicas ventriculares — Cavum septum pellucidum (CSP), Cavum vergae (CV) e Cavum velum interpositi (CVI) — em 1.467 tomografias multislice de crânio realizadas em dois grandes hospitais privados da cidade de Fortaleza, Ceará (Brasil). Resultados. O hospital 1 apresentou maior percentual de pacientes com plano de saúde de baixo custo, acidente vascular cerebral e neurocisticercose (P<0,05). No total, 15,1% dos participantes do hospital 1, contra 7,1% do hospital 2, apresentaram pelo menos um tipo de cavum cerebral, incluindo CSP vestigial. Os tipos mais raros de cava (CV e CVI) foram duas vezes mais comuns no primeiro hospital (P<0,05). A regressão logística confirmou que pacientes do hospital 1, idosos e homens eram mais propensos a apresentar qualquer tipo de cavum cerebral e CSP. Conclusão. Variantes anatômicas ventriculares cerebrais estiveram presentes em 12% dos participantes desta amostra brasileira de classe média, sendo mais prevalentes em idosos do sexo masculino e em participantes de estratos socioeconômicos mais baixos. Mais estudos são necessários para investigar prospectivamente a associação entre variáveis socioeconômicas e a prevalência de variantes anatômicas ventriculares cerebrais
