Abstract | BACKGROUND: METHOD: Intraoperative ultrasound guidance was used for Ommaya reservoir placement in a 56-year-old patient with multiple intracranial and leptomeningeal metastases who had cavum septum pellucidum et vergae malformation. The catheter was successfully placed into the frontal horn of the lateral ventricle outside the cavum. CONCLUSION: Intraoperative ultrasound is a suitable image guidance system in patients with slit-like or normal-sized ventricles. It can also be used in patients with ventricular malformations.
