Introduction. We analyse the factors that are associated with the diagnostic yield of needle
brain biopsy. Material and methods. We present a retrospective series of 124 consecutive …

Objective Robotic guidance might be an alternative to classic stereotaxy for biopsies of
intracranial lesions. Both methods were compared regarding time efficacy, histopathological …

OBJECTIVES: Stereotactic biopsy is a suitable method for sampling intrinsic brain lesions.
Although this method is considered to be a safe procedure, some risk of complications still …

Background Frame-based stereotactic biopsy (FBSB) is a minimally-invasive and effective
procedure for the diagnosis of brain lesions and will likely gain clinical importance. Since …

Background Stereotactic biopsy of brain lesions with unknown entities is a common
neurosurgical procedure to obtain tumor tissue. Pathologists can then provide an exact …

Objective The risk of hemorrhages after stereotactic biopsy is known to be low. Nevertheless
hemorrhages in eloquent areas result in neurological deficit for the patients. Since the basal …

Background Radiological imaging techniques provide early detection of neurological
diseases, but they do not always provide an adequate diagnosis. With the help of …

Objectives: Stereotactic biopsy (STB) is a potential diagnostic tool considering its minimal
invasiveness, high diagnostic yield, and minimal associated complications. Over the years …

Background: accurate localization of a lesion is the ultimate goal of stereotactic surgery.
Frame-based systems have the advantage of proven clinical utility and instrument carriage …

Methods This is a cross-sectional study conducted among 80 patients who underwent
computed tomography guided frame based stereotactic biopsy during a period of 6 years. All …
