Abstract
In this paper the authors describe the use of a Doppler device, originally built for intravascular use, that is passed through a flexible neuroendoscope during a neuroendoscopic third ventriculostomy (NTV) procedure to treat for hydrocephalus. There was no morbidity associated with the use of this Doppler probe, and the procedure was not significantly lengthened. The Doppler probe was very accurate in locating the position of the basilar artery tip and assured the safety of NTV.
