  • Title: Awake stereotactic brainstem biopsy via a contralateral, transfrontal, transventricular approach.
    Author: Pereira EA, Jegan T, Green AL, Aziz TZ.
    Journal: Br J Neurosurg; 2008 Aug; 22(4):599-601. PubMed ID: 18686061.
    Abstract:
    The authors describe a novel approach to stereotactic biopsy of lesions of the lateral pons and medial cerebellar peduncle, and its diagnostic success without morbidity. A contralateral approach laterally expands the accessible infratentorial area. It may also confer a theoretical reduction in neurological deficit with passage through non-dominant right hemisphere.
