Complications of MRI-guided stereotactic biopsy of brain lymphoma
Original language description
OBJECTIVES: Stereotactic biopsy is a suitable method for sampling intrinsic brain lesions. Although this method is considered to be a safe procedure, some risk of complications still exists. The aim of the study was to retrospectively assess the morbidity and mortality of MRI-guided stereotactic biopsy of lesions which were histologically proven to be brain lymphoma. METHODS: We retrospectively studied all accessible medical records for patients who had undergone MRI-guided stereotactic biopsy of brainlesions with histologically proven brain lymphoma from January 2007 to December 2012. Our cohort included 45 patients, 27 males and 18 females, aged 23-84 (63+-14) years. RESULTS: Forty-nine biopsies were carried out on 45 patients; the average number oftissue specimens was 3+-1. The diagnostic yield of the stereotactic biopsy was 92%. Overall major morbidity directly related to stereotactic biopsy of brain lymphoma was 6.1% (3 cases) including 4.1% mortality (2 cases).
