AB  - CHAPTER  SUMMARYThe  trajectories  of  an  external  ventricular  drain  (EVD)  can  generally  be  categorized  as  either  anterior  or  posterior.  The  entry  points  for  anterior  trajectories  include  the  Kocher,  Barrow,  and  Kaufmann  points,  whereas  those  for  posterior  trajectories  include  the  Keen,  Frazier,  Sanchez,  and  Dandy  points.  These  same  trajectories  apply  intraoperatively,  with  the  removal  of  cranial  bone.  Theoretically,  any  trajectory  into  the  ventricular  system  can  be  used  for  an  EVD.  However,  the  neurosurgeon  must  account  for  the  anatomy  that  will  be  transgressed.  Placement  of  a  lumbar  drain  usually  requires  the  use  of  a  Tuffier  line  at  the  L4-L5  intervertebral  space.
