[Echographically controlled ventricle punctures].
Ventricular taps are performed either for diagnostic or for therapeutic purposes. They are not free of risks. A new technique is presented, in which the placement of the needle is echographically monitored. Fifteen punctures were done in five children. All punctures were successful at first attempt, and were uneventful.
