Abstract

Intraoperative ultrasonography is an extremely valuable tool for avoidance of complications during neurosurgical procedures, including resection of intracranial and spinal cord tumors, removal of spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhages and arteriovenous malformations, and ventricular access for shunt placements. Nevertheless, application of this highly useful technique may be accompanied by some challenges and difficulties, as well as human errors; thus, it requires specific knowledge and continuous training.
