Stereotactic location and delimitation of brain tumors in children.
Our preliminary experience with a method of localizing and delimiting brain tumors is reported. The borders of the neoplasm facing important functional areas are mapped with stereotactically injected non-spreading dyes. This procedure precedes craniotomy and provides the surgeon with safer landmarks when he resects deep-seated lesions.
