Abstract:
Thirty-four patients with various intracranial lesions underwent the stereotatic surgery using the Pelorus system, which consists of integrated skull set, phantom and Arc adaptor, between September, 1987 and October, 1988.10 of 12 biopsies(83%) were diagnosed as 4 metastatic tumors, 3 glioblastoma multiforme, 1 cerebral infarction and 1 calcification. Fifteen patients with the spontaneous intracerebral hematoma and 2 with the abscess were treated successfully. Two patients with the malignant tumors underwent the stereotatic isotope implantation with I125. Only one case of transient hemiparesis among 34 procedures developed. From the results, the use of a simple interlocking plate system, rather than a bulky frame produce benifits evident during application with capabilities and accuracy of most other stereotactic system. It has offered the advantages of stereotaxis to a currently possible wide range of patients, which it can be used to diagnose and treat.
