Stereotactic biopsy of orbital lesions

Abstract

A simple method using standard computed tomography (CT) and stereotactic equipment is described, enabling us to take biopsies from orbital lesions at predetermined sites. The method is characterized by high accuracy, because it avoids the uncertainty inherent in free-hand needle aspiration. It gives more diagnostic safety by providing larger samples.
