| ABSTRACT |
|
6 patients underwnet CT-guided stereotactic biopsy or hematoma aspiration procedure for posterior fossa lesions.
Trajectory for biopsy or aspiration was transcerebellar approach. The patients were placed under general endotracheal anesthesia and positioned prone or sitting. No complications were encountered in the postoperative period when this technique was used. Stereotaxic transcerebellar multiple biopsy can safely provide tissue conformation of the neoplastic nature of a posterior fossa lesion thought to be a tumor. In addition, hematoma aspiration has been demonstrated to be safe, reliable, and efficient. |
