Abstract:
Usually a intracranial foreign body eludes the most intent search despite of C-arm fluroscopy and ultrasonography in operative field. And the usual craniotomy increases brain damage by searching brain parenchyme for intracranial foreign body. Recently we experienced stereotaxic removal of intracranial foreign body with Brown-Roberts-Wells(B.R.W.) system. This approach has been used easily and accurately under the local anesthesia. And it was less traumatic procedure. We present a detailed technique of stereotaxic of intracranial foreign body.
