The pineal gland is located deep in the midline of the brain and is surrounded by critical structures. Therefore, open surgery for suspected tumor in this region is often challenging and might be associated with significant risks. For this reason, stereotactic biopsy is an alternative for diagnosing unclear findings in this region. Here we describe the features of stereotactic biopsies in the pineal region and discuss the diagnostic accuracy and complication rates of this neurosurgical procedure.

摘要

The pineal gland is located deep in the midline of the brain and is surrounded by critical structures. Therefore, open surgery for suspected tumor in this region is often challenging and might be associated with significant risks. For this reason, stereotactic biopsy is an alternative for diagnosing unclear findings in this region. Here we describe the features of stereotactic biopsies in the pineal region and discuss the diagnostic accuracy and complication rates of this neurosurgical procedure.
