Abstract:
42 cadaver brains in situ were examined endoscopically to work out topographical anatomical landmarks for orientation. The endoscopic route from the chosen precoronal trepanation point to the defined ventricular landmarks has been measured in 22 cases. The identification and measurements of the anatomical landmarks are helpful for safe and atraumatic endoscopical navigation within the ventricular system. Furthermore this article describes and discusses cerebral lesions during ventriculoscopy.
