Abstract:
The biopsy and cyst aspiration of central nervous lesions by computerized tomography(CT) scan has become a popular method. Authors can simply make a needle placement in deep intracranial hematomas, brain abscesses and cystic tumors by using U-loop with CT guided external markers. Our method is believed to deserve reporting in that it is easy, safe and less expensive.
