Veterinary Clinics of North America: Small Animal Practice
Brain biopsy is essential for accurate diagnosis but is frequently avoided in veterinary medicine because of doubts about its safety, reliability, and clinical value. Data available from human and veterinary investigations suggest that such doubts are largely unwarranted.

Harefuah, 1995
During a 3-year period starting in 1991, 49 patients with brain lesions underwent 50 stereotactic brain biopsy procedures. The average age was 46 years (range 4-74). Specimens were taken from various brain regions, particularly from the deep aspect of the cerebral hemispheres and midline structures.

Journal of Neurology, 1975
303 patients underwent brain biopsy; 20 patients were available for a follow-up EEG examination, up to 16 years after the biopsy. 4 patients (20%) had focal fits starting within 6 months after the intervention. In the EEG of 15 patients (75%) 2 varieties of focal abnormalities appeared: "trepanation activity" which, for reasons discussed below should ...

1.5 T: spectroscopy-supported brain biopsy
Neurosurgery Clinics of North America, 2005The technique for performing brain biopsy has evolved significantly over the last three decades. Intraoperative MRI guidance has enhanced the diagnostic rate for brain biopsy by now allowing neurosurgeons to compensate for brain shift while performing the procedure in near-real time.

Biopsy of Pediatric Brain Stem Tumors
Pediatric Neurosurgery, 197926 patients, average age of 7.3 years, had biopsies of a brain stem tumor. 62% of the patients presented with hydrocephalus, and ventriculoperitoneal shunts were placed 7–10 days prior to biopsy. The midbrain was biopsied 13 times, the pons 3 and the medulla 12 times.

Brain Biopsy in Herpes Simplex Encephalitis
Pediatrics International, 1992Routine brain biopsy is often recommended in all patients suspected of having herpes simplex encephalitis (HSE). This approach is based upon the lack of ability to make the diagnosis of HSE on clinical grounds, the need to exclude other diseases for which there is specific therapy, and to stop empiric therapies.

Brain Biopsy in Suspected Herpes Encephalitis
Archives of Neurology, 1987An operation, a potentially toxic treatment, or deleterious delay and uncertainty are often the choices confronting a patient with suspected herpes encephalitis. Drs Hanley, Johnson, and Whitley argue that because only 42% of patients with acute encephalitis turn out to have herpes infections, that all should have the only definitive diagnostic test ...

For brain diseases like brain infection, benign brain neoplasms, primary brain malignancy, or brain metastasis, the selection of an appropriate and effective treatment is essential and depends on the accurate differentiation of these entities and diagnoses. The frequently utilized tool to establish the diagnosis and to guide correct management is brain

Brain biopsy for encephalitis.
Clinical neurosurgery, 1987Brain biopsy is justified in patients suspected of having encephalitis or viral encephalopathy because those patients are most likely to be helped if a diagnosis is made rapidly and with the greatest certainty possible. Neurosurgeons are occasionally reluctant to undertake brain biopsy because the procedure is diagnostic rather than therapeutic in ...
