“…The frontal horn of the lateral ventricle is one selected target for the proximal catheter in ventricular shunting. As this procedure is often performed blindly, the intended target for catheter tip placement, anterior to the foramen of Monroe [1]. The most frequent indications in patient with hydrocephalus and intraventricular hemorrhage or whenever intracranial hypertension is expected to be a significant problem.…”

Objective: In this study we aimed to determine a landmark that can be measured through the skin with nasal mid-point (bregma) to coronal suture, and additionally an average value was calculated. We report, to our knowledge, the distance between the nasion-coronal sutures is reported for the first time in Turkish population. Methods:The study included 30 craniums and 30 frontal bones. Each skull from midline nasal suture to coronal suture curved up at the distance was measured with tape measure. Results:Mean values were determined. Nasal suture between coronal suture distance average 12,2 cm (min10,3 cm, up to 13,5 cm) were detected. Conclusion:Nasal suture is an easily palpable area through the skin. A small incision is carried down through skin to bone at the spot 12 cm back from the nasion 3 cm lateral to the midline for ventricular drainage operation. This data provide practical information for neurosurgeon and is available everywhere. J Clin Exp Invest 2014; 5 (3): 368-370
