Stereotactic biopsy of brain tumours.
Computerized tomography assisted Stereotactic biopsy technique using Leksell stereotactic frame was performed on 27 patients with small, multiple and deep seated brain tumours. There were 19 men and 8 women with an age range from 17 to 65 years. Histological diagnosis of 18 glial tumours, 9 non-glial tumours (5 colloid cysts, 4 metastatic lesions) was obtained. There was no mortality and minima...
متن کاملStereotactic biopsy and brachytherapy of brain tumours.
This paper discusses 98 patients who had their cerebral lesions stereotactically biopsied. Modified Riechert-Mundinger instrumentation was employed. Of the 98 patients, eight received only biopsy and 90 were then interstitially radiated with iridium-192 (192Ir) custom stacked in afterloading catheters. The vast majority of brachytherapeutically treated lesions were anaplastic or malignant astro...
متن کاملFrame-Based Stereotactic Biopsy of Canine Brain Masses: Technique and Clinical Results in 26 Cases
This report describes the methodology, diagnostic yield, and adverse events (AE) associated with frame-based stereotactic brain biopsies (FBSB) obtained from 26 dogs with solitary forebrain lesions. Medical records were reviewed from dogs that underwent FBSB using two stereotactic headframes designed for use in small animals and compatible with computed tomographic (CT) and magnetic resonance (...
متن کاملDiagnostic yield of stereotactic brain biopsy.
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the diagnostic yield, accuracy, and safety of frame-based stereotactic brain biopsy procedures. METHODS A retrospective study of all pathologically diagnosed intracranial lesions, using frame-based stereotactic guided brain biopsy procedures performed at King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Centre (KFSH&RC), Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia between 1993 and 2005 w...
متن کامل1H-MRS-guided stereotactic brain biopsy.
with a power of 0.8 and type I error probability of 0.05. Anyway, in our opinion, metabolic guidance may be rather useful during stereotactic biopsy of parenchymal brain tumors, and may be especially recommended for recurrent, particularly previously irradiated, neoplasms, or for sampling of the highly vascular lesions since in the latter cases, detection of the spectroscopic abnormalities outs...
