Abstract
Stereotactic techniques have been utilized for more than 40 years in clinical neurosurgical practice. There has been considerable experience with stereotactic techniques in the drainage of intracerebral hemorrhages, although its effectiveness remains controversial. Stereotactic craniotomy, often incorporating advanced computer guidance, is increasingly applied to effect complete resection of small, deep brain lesions. Radiosurgery has become a viable alternative for the treatment of arteriovenous malformations that, in most cases, are untreatable by other means. Currently, stereotaxis is a valuable part of the therapeutic armamentarium available to cerebrovascular neurosurgeons.
