摘要
Introduction The authors describe an extremely simple technique of head fixation for image-guided neurosurgery in young children in whom standard pin fixation cannot be used. Materials and methods This involves positioning the head on a horseshoe headrest and using a 'U-drape' to fix the head to the headrest. Result Over the last 5 years, this technique of head fixation (in conjunction with Stealthstation (R)) has been used for various neurosurgical procedures in more than ten infants successfully.
