  • Title: Stereotactic suboccipital transcerebellar biopsy under local anesthesia using the Cosman-Roberts-Wells frame. Technical note.
    Author: Spiegelmann R, Friedman WA.
    Journal: J Neurosurg; 1991 Sep; 75(3):486-8. PubMed ID: 1869955.
    Abstract:
    Previously reported suboccipital transcerebellar stereotactic biopsy methods, performed with the patient in the prone position, have required general endotracheal anesthesia. A technique is described for performing such biopsies with the patient in the lateral decubitus position, under local anesthesia. Phantom planning and routine computerized tomography graphics allow the selection of a safe entry point and intra-axial trajectory to the lesion. The time required for data acquisition and the operative procedure itself compares well with that of more routine biopsy techniques.
