Abstract
Neurobiopsy allows for sampling of central nervous system (CNS) lesions with high accuracy and represents one of the most common neurosurgical procedures. The rapid development of new imaging modalities (computed tomography [CT] and magnetic resonance imaging [MRI]) and surgical navigation techniques over the past three decades have significantly impacted brain biopsy techniques. Moreover, they have altered the indications spectrum for biopsies of CNS lesions. Tumors previously considered inoperable because of their deep location and/or involvement of functionally critical structures gradually became more accessible for radical surgical therapy.
