Abstract
Computerized tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) have given neurosurgeons the opportunity to visualize intracranial lesions much earlier than was heretofore possible with more invasive techniques. Continued improvement in image resolution has led to the diagnosis of intracranial lesions that are too small to be located and removed by conventional methods. In this chapter, we describe our stereotactic method, including carbon dioxide laser vaporization, for the removal of small central nervous system (CNS) lesions under three-dimensional visual control.
