title: [Stereotaxic guidance in open surgery of the brain].
abstract: The authors describe the technique used to precisely locate, before surgical ablation, small superficial or deep seated intracerebral lesions. When they are superficial, a burrhole is placed above the lesional site, that is reconstructed by superimposing the CT image onto a plain film radiogram taken during stereotaxy. Deep seated lesions are localized by inserting a guide under stereotaxy, prior to open surgery, which will lead the neurosurgeon without error from the cortex to the lesion. 37 observations are reported where this technique lead to a greatly simplified intervention with minimal cortical damage.
