SummaryTo evaluate the usefulness of transendoscopic sonography, two sono catheters of 6F diameter were studied in 15 fresh specimens. A precise imaging was seen of well known anatomical structures. An additional dimension in endoscopy was also obtained as the sono added to the endo view a transversal scan like a mini CT at the tip of the probe. The guiding characteristic of this imaging technique, which is in real time and on line, was also experienced. These observations offer such interesting prospects for use in minimally invasive neurosurgery that further development and clinical experience seem to be justified.
