[Tomodensitometry in stereotaxic conditions (possibilities and limitations in the diagnosis and treatment of brain lesions)]. 1977

F Cohadon, and A Rougier, and D da S Nunes Neto, and J Pigneux, and J M Caille, and P Constans

The stereotaxic approach of cerebral lesions for diagnostic (biopsies) and/or therapeutic purposes (interstitial radiotherapy) has been well documented. These techniques depend on an exact spatial definition of the tumoral volume, which is often difficult to obtain through conventional neuroradiology, stereoencephalography, rheography... The use of tomodensitometry in this context is obviously of upmost interest if, and only if, the scan itself is obtained in stereotaxic conditions. The authors present a stereotaxic system with which all the diagnostic data, including CT scan itself, are recorded and matched within the same stereotaxic space. This method achieves an exact mapping of lesions within the actual stereotaxic brain space. Hence any further stereotaxic gesture can be calculated and controlled with a suitable accuracy. The interest of these procedures in the management of brain lesions is demonstrated through an experience of 52 supra tentorial tumors. 13 cases of lesions under 20 mm in diameter are especially discussed.

D009362 Neoplasm Metastasis The transfer of a neoplasm from one organ or part of the body to another remote from the primary site. Metastase,Metastasis,Metastases, Neoplasm,Metastasis, Neoplasm,Neoplasm Metastases,Metastases
D001922 Brain Abscess A circumscribed collection of purulent exudate in the brain, due to bacterial and other infections. The majority are caused by spread of infected material from a focus of suppuration elsewhere in the body, notably the PARANASAL SINUSES, middle ear (see EAR, MIDDLE); HEART (see also ENDOCARDITIS, BACTERIAL), and LUNG. Penetrating CRANIOCEREBRAL TRAUMA and NEUROSURGICAL PROCEDURES may also be associated with this condition. Clinical manifestations include HEADACHE; SEIZURES; focal neurologic deficits; and alterations of consciousness.

D001927 Brain Diseases Pathologic conditions affecting the BRAIN, which is composed of the intracranial components of the CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM.

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.
