Over a period of 5 years, 34 pediatric patients underwent stereotactic surgery for deep-seated brain lesions: 32 patients proved to have a brain tumor, and in 2 cases the lesion was not tumoral; 15 patients with low-grade astrocytomas were treated with 125I interstitial radiotherapy. The importance of stereotactic surgery is emphasized because of its relative safeness, diagnostic reliability, and the possibility of eventual brachytherapy.
在5年的时间里,34名儿科患者接受了针对深部脑病变的立体定向手术:32名患者被证实患有脑肿瘤,2例病变不是肿瘤性的;15例低级别星形细胞瘤患者接受了碘-125间质放疗。强调了立体定向手术的重要性,因为它相对安全、诊断可靠,并且最终有可能进行近距离治疗。
