Abstract

A ventriculoscope guide intended for use with stereotactic frames is described. This guide allows the ventriculoscope to be moved freely and then fixed rigidly into position without readjustment of the stereotactic frame. This design address requirements for extremely strong fixation of the ventriculoscope, adaptability to most stereotactic systems, and minimal damage to the brain tissue traversed by the ventriculoscope.
