1. A cranial prosthesis comprising (10) (5)

an outer body,

an ultrasound compatible interior window at least partially surrounded by said outer body, and

means in which to engage one or more diagnostic instruments and/or intracranial delivery systems,

wherein said prosthesis is biocompatible and sterilizable; and

further wherein said interior window allows for the use of an ultra-sound diagnostic device on the patient in which said prosthesis is implanted.

2. The cranial prosthesis according to claim 1, wherein said device allows a treating physician is able to image a patient's brain while simultaneously using one or more diagnostic instrument or intracranial delivery system. (0)

3. The cranial prosthesis according to claim 1, wherein said cranial prosthesis is formed from a single sheet of material. (0)

4. The cranial prosthesis according to claim 1, further comprising adapters for blood brain barrier disruption, blot clot liquefication and high intensity focused ultrasound. (0)

7. The cranial prosthesis according to claim 1, further comprising a shunt. (0)

8. The cranial prosthesis according to claim 1, further comprising a customizable attachment to allow a catheter, probe, needle, endoscope of combinations thereof to pass through the prosthesis and into the brain of a patient in need of treatment. (0)

9. The cranial prosthesis according to claim 1, further comprising a customized robotic platform wherein said platform interfaces with a robotic arm. (0)

10. Use of the cranial prosthesis according to claim 1 to evacuate an intracerebral hematoma in conjunction with a non-ablative, cutting device and/or a sheath consisting of one or more obturators with an atraumatic tips and/or a low profile irrigation-aspiration system. (0)

11. The cranial prosthesis according to claim 1, further comprising a chamber to store and deliver a drug or a biologic directly to a patient's brain as needed. (0)

12. The cranial prosthesis according to claim 1, further comprising a battery wherein said battery is connected to an electrode placed stereotactically in the brain in a patient in need therapeutically of deep brain stimulation. (0)

13. The cranial prosthesis according to claim 1, further comprising an electronic sensor or electronic chip device embedded in the body of said prosthesis wherein said electronic sensor or electronic chip device may be accessed remotely by a wireless communication device. (2) (0)

16. A cranial prosthesis comprising (3) (4)

an ultrasound compatible body, and

means in which to engage one or more diagnostic instruments and/or intracranial delivery systems,

wherein said prosthesis is biocompatible and sterilizable; and

further wherein said ultra-sound compatible structure allows for the use of an ultra-sound diagnostic device on the patient in which said prosthesis is implanted and said one or more diagnostic instruments and/or intracranial delivery systems simultaneously as needed.

17. The cranial prosthesis according to claim 16, further comprising adapters for blood brain barrier disruption, blot clot liquefication and high intensity focused ultrasound. (1) (0)

19. The cranial prosthesis according to claim 16, further comprising a shunt, a customizable attachment to allow a catheter, probe, needle, endoscope of combinations thereof to pass through the prosthesis and into the brain of a patient in need of treatment, a customized robotic platform wherein said platform interfaces with a robotic arm, a chamber to store and deliver a drug or a biologic directly to a patient's brain as needed, a battery wherein said battery is connected to an electrode placed stereotactically in the brain in a patient in need therapeutically of deep brain stimulation or an electronic sensor or electronic chip device embedded in the body of said prosthesis wherein said electronic sensor or electronic chip device may be accessed remotely by a wireless communication device. (0)

20. Use of the cranial prosthesis according to claim 16 to evacuate an intracerebral hematoma in conjunction with a non-ablative, cutting device and/or a sheath consisting of one or more obturators with an atraumatic tips and/or a low profile irrigation-aspiration system. (0)
