title: Intraoperative sonography in neurosurgery.
abstract: Intraoperative sonography is not employed as often as it should be. This report describes the techniques of intraoperative sonography during craniotomy. The authors have performed this in 15 cases. Details of three cases wherein the lesion was localised easily at operation are given. Surgical excision can be done after this procedure without producing any major deficit.
