Summary
Stereotactic biopsies were carried out in an attempt to define the grading of 99 neuroectodermal tumors with respect to their modalities of growth and their degree of malignancy. Valuable data has been obtained in all explored tumors. The reliability of the information provided by stereotactic biopsy depends on the careful planning of the procedure by exploring different parts of the tumor as well as of the surrounding brain tissue.
