Abstract
The management of ventriculitis remains controversial, with no single management strategy that can provide a good outcome. There are few articles describing the brainwashing technique, and most for neonatal intraventricular hemorrhage. This technical note is important because it describes a practical way to perform brainwashing in case of ventriculitis, and it is more feasible compared to endoscopic lavage in developing countries. We describe in a stepwise fashion the surgical technique of ventricular lavage. Ventricular lavage is a neglected technique that can help to improve ventricular infection and hemorrhage prognosis.
