Description

Intraventricular injections are a medical procedure where medication is administered directly into the ventricles of the brain. This method is often used for delivering treatments for conditions such as hydrocephalus or for administering chemotherapy directly to the cerebrospinal fluid.

Interpreter Notes

Interpreters should be aware that the term may be used in specialized contexts, such as neurology or oncology. Common variants that may be encountered include 'inyecciones ventriculares' (colloquial) or 'inyecciones intratecales' (regional), but it is important to stick to the glossary term in formal settings to avoid confusion.

Example Sentences

EN: The physician recommended intraventricular injections to manage the patient's condition effectively.

ES: El médico recomendó inyecciones intraventriculares para manejar la condición del paciente de manera efectiva.

Common Interpreter Mistakes

Confusing 'intraventricular' with 'intravenous'; misinterpreting the procedure as less invasive than it is; mixing up terminology with related procedures like lumbar punctures.
