Intraoperative neurosonography revisited: effective neuronavigation in pediatric neurosurgery
نویسنده
چکیده
Intraoperative ultrasonography (IOUS) is a widely used noninvasive method to evaluate the morphology, vasculature, and pathologies of the brain. The advantages of IOUS include realtime depiction of neuroanatomy, accurate localization and characterization of a lesion, reduced surgical exploration and surgical time, and presumably decreased patient morbidity. IOUS is useful in the intraoperative monitoring of lesion resection as well as intraoperative localization and characterization of focal parenchymal lesions. This review aims to provide an overview of the clinical application of IOUS in pediatric intracranial neurosurgery.

AIM The study aimed to examine the position of three-dimensional (3D) neurosonography and the advantages and disadvantages of ultrasound-based neuronavigation in spinal cord tumour surgery. MATERIAL AND METHODS During the period July, 2007- February 2011, 28 patients with spinal cord tumours were operated in our neurosurgical clinic. All patients underwent intraoperative 3D neurosonography by...
متن کاملNeuronavigation by intraoperative three-dimensional ultrasound: initial experience during brain tumor resection.
OBJECTIVE Three-dimensional (3-D) ultrasound is an intraoperative imaging modality used in neuronavigation as an alternative to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). This article summarizes 4 years of clinical experience in the use of intraoperative 3-D ultrasound integrated into neuronavigation for guidance in brain tumor resection. METHODS Patients were selected for inclusion in the study on th...
متن کاملA New Brain-Shift Model for Neurosurgery with Fronto-Temporal Craniotomy
Neuronavigation systems have become standard neurosurgical tool; however, there is a major concern to be solved. Brain shift occurs during surgery, which compromises the system’s accurate anatomical representation. We developed and evaluated a convenient new method for a rapid intraoperative correction of brain shift during neuronavigation. We assessed four patients (4 females; mean age 61.0 ye...
متن کاملAn MRS- and PET-guided biopsy tool for intraoperative neuronavigational systems.
OBJECTIVE Glioma heterogeneity and the limitations of conventional structural MRI for identifying aggressive tumor components can limit the reliability of stereotactic biopsy and, hence, tumor characterization, which is a hurdle for developing and selecting effective treatment strategies. In vivo MR spectroscopy (MRS) and PET enable noninvasive imaging of cellular metabolism relevant to prolife...
متن کاملA Smartphone App to Assist Scalp Localization of Superficial Supratentorial Lesions--Technical Note.
BACKGROUND Neuronavigation is an established technology in neurosurgery. In parts of the world and certain circumstances in which neuronavigation is not easily available or affordable, alternative techniques may be considered. OBJECTIVE An app to assist scalp localization of superficial supratentorial lesions has been introduced, and its accuracy has been compared with established neuronaviga...
