In neurosurgery, brain biopsy is an essential tool for providing adequate histological sampling in neoplastic and non-tumorous lesions. There are two main techniques in obtaining tissue samples: open biopsy requiring craniotomy or needle biopsy. Needle biopsies allow for minimally-invasive tissue diagnosis with less risk of operative morbidity for the patient. Here we show a frameless needle biopsy of a cerebellar lesion using the Brainlab VarioGuide system.
