To the Editor: We were captivated by the recent cover article by Lee et al titled "First Experience With Postoperative Transcranial Ultrasound Through Sonolucent Burr Hole Covers in Adult Hydrocephalus Patients." The authors presented their initial experience with 37 patients who received a sonolucent burr hole cover during ventriculoperitoneal shunt placement or endoscopic third ven-triculostomy and subsequently underwent ultrasonography. They found no significant difference in infection and revision rates of these 37 patients compared with 57 historical controls. 1The authors presented multiple ultrasound images of ventricular anatomy and showed comparisons with computed tomography (CT). We commend the authors for their innovative efforts in bringing new technology to the operating room, neurosurgical intensive care unit, and neurosurgical clinic.
