Computed tomography-based stereotactic third ventriculostomy: technical note. 1986

P J Kelly, and S Goerss, and B A Kall, and D B Kispert

This report describes a computed tomography-based computer-assisted stereotactic technique for performing 3rd ventriculostomy. The procedure has been performed on seven patients with acquired obstructive hydrocephalus of various etiologies. None of these patients have yet required shunting.
