Our number of patients has been progressively increasing, and to date, we have treated more than 270 with different pathologies, including vascular malformations, acoustic neurinomata, meningiomata, pituitary tumors, craniopharyngiomata, gliomata, metastasis, and ocular melanoma, among others. Stereotactic Cerebral Biopsy: This is a minimally-invasive technique which allows taking small specimens of brain tissue, using a guide, a special frame, and imges of magnetic resonance, and computerized tomography. Through a small incision in the skin, and a very small window (approximately 2 mm diameter), a biopsy needle is introduced to take specimens of the brain lesion, and thus determine its anatomopathologic nature. The Neursurgery and Radiosurgery with Gamma Knife Unit has an advanced diagnostic and treatment system, which includes the stereotactic techniques put at your service in order to offer the highest-quality attention. If you wish more information, do not doubt to request it, since we will gladly help you.
