    CT-guided stereotactic biopsy techniques were compared for intracranial tissue sampling. Both methods proved safe and efficient, with one offering higher accuracy and the other reduced CT time.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurosurgery
    • Radiology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Stereotactic biopsy is crucial for diagnosing intracranial lesions.
    • Evaluating the efficacy and safety of different stereotactic biopsy techniques is essential.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare the modified Riechert-Mundinger stereotactic frame technique with the CT-based Gildenberg landmark technique for CT-guided intracranial biopsies.
    • To assess sample adequacy, accuracy, safety, and efficiency of both techniques.

    Main Methods:

    • Eighteen patients underwent CT-guided stereotactic biopsies using either a modified Riechert-Mundinger frame or the Gildenberg technique with a Todd-Wells frame.
    • Tissue sample adequacy, accuracy, operative time, and postoperative complications were evaluated.

    Main Results:

    • Representative tissue samples were obtained in all 7 patients using the modified frame and 10 of 11 patients using the Gildenberg technique.
    • No major postoperative complications occurred in either group.
    • The modified frame technique showed higher accuracy, while the Gildenberg technique required less CT time and offered satisfactory accuracy.

    Conclusions:

    • Both CT-guided stereotactic biopsy techniques are safe and efficient for obtaining intracranial tissue samples.
    • The choice of technique may depend on the balance between desired accuracy and available resources (CT time).
    • Biopsies of enhancing rims in ring-enhancing lesions yielded diagnostic tissue, while central biopsies provided useful necrotic material for grading.
