This article describes a new multipurpose ventriculoscope that combines the advantages of several neuroendoscopic systems that are already available and provides some new features. This system can be used for all intracranial endoscopic procedures, such as endoscopic third ventriculostomy, septum fenestration, foraminoplasty, aqueductoplasty, stenting, cyst fenestrations, intraventricular tumor biopsy or resection, or intraventricular cyst or clot removal. The ventriculoscope can be used in both adults and children. Because of its diameter, it is not designed for the endoscopic treatment of newborns.
