====== Kaufman’s point ======

{{:pasted:20231205-113335.png}}

Although there are various other ventriculostomy entry points for EVD or shunt, compared to Kaufman’s, Paine’s, and [[Menovsky’s point]]s, the modified [[Kocher’s point]] has several advantages. For example, Kaufman’s point is located 5 cm superior to the nasion and 3 cm lateral to the midline. Still, currently, it is rarely used due to its poor cosmetic results and lower success rates
