Summary The authors emphasize the advantages of stereotaxic methodology in the management of 200 brain tumors. Nowadays computerized tomography is the first stage of radiologic diagnosis. Both CT scan and stereotaxic examination have been carried out in more than 35% of these tumors. Rather than a comparison of the two examinations, the authors' purpose is to attempt to demonstrate their complementarity in the assessment of location, volume, and nature of the lesion and eventually in the choice of a therapeutic attitude. Analysis of topographic data and staged biopsies, gathered from the ‘stereotaxic space,’ provides the neurosurgeon with accurate information for planned surgical excision or interstitial irradiation.
