Abstract: External ventricular drainage, or ventriculostomy, refers to surgical placement of a catheter into the ventricle to achieve temporary cerebrospinal fluid diversion and remains one of the most frequently performed neurosurgical interventions. External ventricular drainage is… read more here.
