Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Diagnostic Imaging
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Brainstem lesions pose diagnostic challenges.
  • Accurate diagnosis is crucial for effective treatment planning.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the diagnostic yield and safety of brainstem stereotactic biopsy.
  • To analyze complication rates associated with the procedure.

Main Methods:

  • A meta-analysis of 41 English articles was conducted.
  • Data were pooled using fixed-effect or random-effect models.
  • Searches included PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and APA psycInfo.

Main Results:

  • The overall diagnostic yield was 97.0%.
  • Temporary complications occurred in 6.2%, permanent deficits in 0.5%, and deaths in 0.3%.
  • MRI-guided biopsy showed similar yield but higher complication rates than CT-guided biopsy. Pediatric patients had higher yield and lower complication rates than adults.

Conclusions:

  • Brainstem stereotactic biopsy is accurate and safe for diagnosing brainstem lesions.
  • Diagnostic yield, morbidity, and mortality vary with imaging guidance and patient population.
