Sažetak
First case of frameless neuronavigation guided brain biopsy performed in Croatia is presented. Neuronavigation developing technology enables tissue sample acquiring with a frameless, image- guided technique with visual control of the biopsy needle. Frameless stereotactic brain biopsy was performed using the Medtronic StealthStation® S7® surgical navigation system. The Articulating Arm and the Precision Aiming Device were used for precise and rigid fixation of the needle trajectory. Compared to the frame-based stereotactic procedure, frameless stereotactic biopsy method offers superior visu-alisation in trajectory planning, multiple target choosing and is a time-saving procedure.
