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 کاملFrameless Stereotactic Biopsy of Intracranial Lesions: Evaluation of Efficacy and Complications
Objective: Frameless stereotactic biopsy has been shown in multiple studies to be a safe and effective procedure for the diagnosis of brain lesion. In this study the authors will evaluate the safety of the procedure and associated complications including neurological deficits in our set up of developing countries. Methods: Forty two patients with different brain lesions were biopsied using fram...
متن کاملIndications for a second prostate biopsy in patients suspected with prostate cancer after an initial negative prostate biopsy
BACKGROUND The present study aimed to evaluate the indications for a second prostate biopsy in patients suspected with prostate cancer after an initial negative prostate biopsy. METHODS The present study included 421 patients who underwent repeat prostate biopsy between January 2007 and December 2015 at three hospitals. Clinicopathological data, including patient age, body mass index, history...
متن کاملThe Effects of Estrogen Receptors' Antagonist on Brain Edema, Intracranial Pressure and Neurological Outcomes after Traumatic Brain Injury in Rat
Background: In previous studies, the neuroprotective effect of 17&beta-estradiol in diffuse traumatic brain injury has been shown. This study used ICI 182,780, a non-selective estrogen receptor antagonist, to test the hypothesis that the neuroprotective effect of 17&beta-estradiol in traumatic brain injury is mediated by the estrogen receptors. Methods: The ovariectomized rats were divided into...
متن کاملFactors affecting diagnostic yield in needle biopsy for brain lesions.
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 biopsies in a 30-month period. Patients' demographics (age, gender), lesion topography (side, location, depth), lesion characteristics (histology, volume, radiological enhancement), type of biopsy procedure (freehan...
