摘要
Objectives. Image-guided brain biopsy is an established method to obtain histopathological diagnosis and guide management for cerebral lesions. The study aimed to establish negative biopsy and symptomatic haemorrhage rates at a single centre, and to assess the influence of factors such as lesion location, final pathology and the use of intra-operative smears. Methods. A retrospective analysis of all frame-based and frameless stereotactic biopsies carried out over 57 months from July 2006 to March 2011. Results. A total of 351 biopsies were undertaken, 256 frame-based (73%) and 95 frameless (27%). Mean age was 57 years (range 18 -87). Negative biopsy rate was 5.1%. There was a significantly greater negative biopsy rate in deep brain biopsies (p = 0.011) and in the cerebellum (p < 0.001). Intra-operative smear significantly reduced negative biopsy rates from 11.1% to 3.7% (p = 0.011). If repeat smear was requested, yet not provided, then the negative biopsy rate was 57.1% (p = 0.0085). The overall symptomatic haemorrhage rate was 3.7%. There was a significant increase in haemorrhage rate in deep versus superficial biopsies (p = 0.023) and a significantly greater haemorrhage rate in lymphoma biopsies (p = 0.015). There was no significant increase in haemorrhage rate in high-grade-compared with low-grade tumour biopsies. Mortality rates at 7 and 30 days post-operatively were 0.6% and 1.7%, respectively, with mortality after 7 days unrelated to biopsy. Conclusion. We advocate intra-operative histopathological analysis to decrease negative biopsy rates and advise increased caution when undertaking biopsies of deep lesions or suspected lymphoma cases due to the potentially increased risk of haemorrhage.
