title: [Neuronavigation in pediatric neurosurgery].
abstract: The precise orientation in the intracranial space is essential for the minimal invasive neurosurgical interventions. The CT and MR based neuro-navigation permits small, targeted exposures on the skull, and intraoperatively gives exact graphic-interactive guidance to the targeted intracranial lesions. The use of neuro-navigation can shorten the time of surgery and diminish the surgical mortality and morbidity. The favourable experiences of the first 21 neuro-navigation aided operations in pediatric patients performed in the National Institute of Neurosurgery (Budapest, Hungary) with the Vector Vision Neuro-navigation System (BrainLAB Gmbh, Germany) are discussed.
