In this paper we define and study ladder determinantal rings of a symmetric matrix of indeterminates. We show that they are Cohen-Macaulay domains. We give a combinatorial characterization of their h-vectors and we compute the a-invariant of the classical determinantal rings of a symmetric matrix of indeterminates.
