Spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage carries high mortality and disability rates and usually affects deep brain structures. We have implemented a self-designed low-cost 3D-printed illuminated endoport for the surgical drainage of a deep spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage in a patient who arrived with right hemiparesis and a GCS score of 10. A minimally invasive approach was made and our patient had a favorable functional outcome after surgery. Carrying out this approach with a low-cost 3D-printed endoport makes it possible to offer a safe and efficient treatment option to a low-income country population.
