Stereotactic Biopsy For a Brainstem Tumor Through a Contralateral Transfrontal Extraventricular Approach

Abstract

Stereotactic biopsy is safely used for brainstem lesions. A mass lesion in the left brachium pontis was found in a 24-years-old female patient. Because of the localization of the lesion, stereotactic biopsy was done through contralateral transfrontal extraventricular route. Result of the histopathological examination was glioblastome multiforme. No complication was observed due to the procedure.Contralateral transfrontal route can be safely used in patients with laterally placed brainstem lesions
