Abstract

The authors present the possibilities of obtaining tissue samples with stereotactic biopsy basing on three examples of intracranial polymorphic and invisible in CT tumours. CT scans of these tumours make a serious problem with proper targeting and tissue sampling from proper sites. Stereotactic serial biopsy directed by CT/MRI fusion is the best way of obtaining tissue material in order to establish correct diagnosis.
