title: [Stereotaxic biopsy of brain tumors].
abstract: The management of patients with a brain tumour is essentially dependent on the knowledge of the histology. Because of its high accuracy and low complication rate stereotactic tumour biopsy has proven to be an important diagnostic procedure, especially in deep-seated lesions. Stereotactic tumour biopsy was carried out in 18 patients with target calculation either from computerized tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MR).
