Description
Purpose Recently, many surgical techniques are applied to accurate ventricular catheterization. However, there are still some limitations in utilizing those methods. We introduce a simple method for the ventricular access and report two illustrative cases using our method. Methods We marked the trajectory using the preoperative multi-planar brain images and verifying it with surface markers. Results Two illustrative cases are shown, in which the surgeries were performed without difficulty and the outcomes were satisfactory. Conclusion Utilizing multi-planar brain images in ventricular access is cost-effective and competent method.
