BACKGROUND: Ventriculoscopic neuronavigation has been described in several papers. However, there are different ventriculoscopes and navigation systems. Due to these different combinations, it is difficult to find detailed neuronavigation protocols. We describe, step-by-step, a simple method to navigate both the trajectory until reaching the ventricular system, as well as the intraventricular work. METHODS: We use a rigid ventriculoscope (LOTTA, KarlStorz) with an EM-stylet (S8-StealthSystem, Medtronic)...
