title: Hydrocephalus in adults. Ultrasound detection through surgically created cranial defects.
abstract: For 15 men who had undergone neurosurgery, ultrasound of the brain through the surgically created cranial defects identified the status of the ventricles in 15 of 17 total examinations (88%). Two failures involved patients with cranial defects in the frontal region. Assessments were all correct when correlated with computed tomography.
