Results of computer-assisted stereotactic laser resection of deep-seated intracranial lesions. 1986

P J Kelly, and B A Kall, and S Goerss, and T L Cascino

A computer-assisted stereotactic system has been developed for the precise resection of deep-seated intracranial neoplasms. After the tumor volume is reconstructed from computed tomographic and magnetic resonance imaging data, a computer-monitored, stereotactically directed carbon dioxide laser is used to vaporize the intracranial tumor. A computer graphics terminal is used to monitor the position of the laser in relationship to the planar slices through the tumor, which are reformatted orthogonally to the surgical plane of view. This procedure produced satisfactory postoperative neurologic results in 36 of the 41 patients who underwent treatment. The system provides precise surgical control in three-dimensional space for the safe resection of substantial amounts (as assessed by postoperative computed tomography) of intra-axial neoplasms.

D001932 Brain Neoplasms Neoplasms of the intracranial components of the central nervous system, including the cerebral hemispheres, basal ganglia, hypothalamus, thalamus, brain stem, and cerebellum. Brain neoplasms are subdivided into primary (originating from brain tissue) and secondary (i.e., metastatic) forms. Primary neoplasms are subdivided into benign and malignant forms. In general, brain tumors may also be classified by age of onset, histologic type, or presenting location in the brain.

D005910 Glioma Benign and malignant central nervous system neoplasms derived from glial cells (i.e., astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, and ependymocytes). Astrocytes may give rise to astrocytomas (ASTROCYTOMA) or glioblastoma multiforme (see GLIOBLASTOMA). Oligodendrocytes give rise to oligodendrogliomas (OLIGODENDROGLIOMA) and ependymocytes may undergo transformation to become EPENDYMOMA; CHOROID PLEXUS NEOPLASMS; or colloid cysts of the third ventricle.
