During the period January 1975-October 1987, we performed stereotactic ventriculocisternostomy (V.C.S.) on 23 patients (13 M., 10 F.; age: 11-73 years, m: 33). Sometimes used as an isolated therapeutic procedure, V.C.S. may also follow stereotactic biopsies using Talairach's methodology. Serial stereotactic biopsies were performed in 15 out of 23 patients showing 11 tumoral lesion, two arachnoïdal cysts and two cryptic vascular malformations. Eight patients presented with an isolated aqueductal stenosis. Among the 12 non tumoral patients, seven had very large triventricular hydrocephalus (6 with a retroclival dilatation of the third ventricle) and 5 showed significant dilatation. Of the 11 tumoral patients, 7 had significant ventricular dilatation (1 with a protrusion of the floor of the third ventricle) and 4 with modest dilation. V.C.S. is done by creating an opening (diameter: 5-6 mm) in the floor of third ventricle with a fine forceps introduced through a tubular guide (diameter: 2.45 mm). The percutaneous double oblique transfrontal trajectory (drill-hole: 2.5 mm of diameter) passing through the foramina of Monro, avoids superficial and deep vessels visualised on the previous Stereoscopic Tele-Angiographic and Ventriculographic study. A systematic verification of the V.C.S. patency is made intraoperatively by injection of iodine contrast medium into the third ventricle.
