Morbidity of stereotactic biopsy for intracranial lesions.
The safety of stereotactic biopsy (STB) was studied in this article. CT-guided STB (Brown-Roberts-Wells; BRW) was performed 58 times for 56 patients (male: 29, female: 27) at Hyogo Cancer Center between 1988 and 2007. The age distribution ranged from 15 to 83 (mean: 55) years old. Histological diagnoses were established for 58 samples, with 35 cases of glioma, eight of metastatic brain tumor, n...
متن کاملSerial stereotactic biopsy of brainstem lesions in adults improves diagnostic accuracy compared with MRI only.
OBJECTIVE The aim of the current prospective study was to analyse the validity of MRI based diagnosis of brainstem gliomas which was verified by stereotactic biopsy and follow-up evaluation as well as to assess prognostic factors and risk profile. METHODS Between 1998 and 2007, all consecutive adult patients with radiologically suspected brainstem glioma were included. The MRI based diagnosis...
متن کاملStereotactic biopsy for brainstem lesion: comparison of approaches and reports of 10 cases.
BACKGROUND Stereotactic biopsy for brainstem lesion offers high diagnostic yield with low morbidity. We compared two modalities of biopsy procedure, frame-based and frameless stereotaxy, either transfrontal or transcerebellar route. The benefits and operation considerations are discussed. METHODS Ten patients with intrinsic brainstem lesion diagnosed with stereotactic biopsy from August 2006 ...

متن کاملLung Lesions Biopsy in Children by Computed Tomography (CT) Fluoroscopy Guided Versus Conventional CT Scan Guided
Abstract Background Computed tomography (CT)-guided biopsy of the lung is a well-established method of diagnosis. The aim of this study was to determine the success rate of fluoroscopic CT (FCT) and conventional CT (CCT) in needle navigation biopsies from the lung lesions. Materials and Methods A total of 78 patients were prospectively enrolled to receive CT-guided biopsy with (group I, n=2...
