Intraoperative sonography through a burr hole: guide for brain biopsy.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Sonographic imaging of the brain was accomplished through a burr hole using a small, real-time, 5 MHz transducer in five patients. Brain tumors were accurately imaged, corresponding closely in morphology to the computed tomographic scan. Intraoperative sonography through a burr hole allows flexibility in technique and greatly facilitates brain biopsy procedures.

Use of a disposable real-time CT stereotactic navigator device for minimally invasive dog brain biopsy through a mini-burr hole.
We assessed the feasibility, accuracy, and safety of securing site-selective brain biopsy specimens by using a real-time CT-guided stereotactic navigation system through a mini-burr hole in the skulls of two dogs. Two beagle dogs each underwent two biopsy procedures. Our results indicated that the navigation system was accurate, safe, fast, and reliable for performing real-time brain biopsy in ...
متن کاملUsefulness of ultrasonography with a burr-hole transducer during surgery through a burr hole.
Ultrasonography has become a common method for evaluation of the central nervous system. We present our experience with ultrasonography monitoring with a burr-hole transducer for investigation of intracranial lesions. Common indications for this technique included guidance for placement of catheters, localization of masses, aspiration of cystic lesion, and confirmation of removal. Postoperative...
متن کاملIntraoperative sonography in the nonstereotaxic biopsy and aspiration of subcortical brain lesions.
Deep-seated brain lesions, especially small ones, present a neurosurgical challenge to achieve tissue diagnosis with minimal damage to intervening normal brain. Needle biopsy is often indicated but has been a relatively arduous procedure using stereotaxic frame methods. Tissue sampling is greatly simplified by the use of intraoperative real-time sonography for needle guidance. The technique is ...
متن کاملIntraoperative sonography for brain tumor localization and ventricular shunt placement.
Intraoperative sonography using portable real-time equipment at the dural or brain surface in 16 patients provided accurate localization of a variety of brain lesions for direct dissectional or needle aspiration biopsies as well as for decompression of cysts. The technique has proven to be reliable and rapid, reducing brain exploration in the search for small or poorly accessible lesions and el...

OBJECTIVE This study investigates the role of a burr hole and calvarial bone marrow-derived stem cells (BMSCs) in a transient ischemic brain injury model in the rat and postulates a possible mechanism for the efficacy of multiple cranial burr hole (MCBH) surgery in moyamoya disease (MMD). METHODS Twenty Sprague-Dawley rats (250 g, male) were divided into four groups : normal control group (n=...
