In order to target arteriovenous malformations (AVM) in a frameless approach, registration of two-dimensional (2D) digital-subtracted-angiographs (DSA) with three-dimensional (3D) computed tomography (CT) is required. Targeting accuracy and delineation of a frameless 2D-DSA and 3D-CT image registration tool based on bony anatomy of the skull was evaluated. This frameless approach assures accurate target localization and can be used in a clinical setting.

Purpose: Uveal melanoma (UM) represents the most prevalent and aggressive intraocular malignancy in adults. This study examined the outcomes of patients diagnosed with high-risk UM who underwent fractionated stereotactic radiosurgery (fSRS) treatment utilizing a novel LINAC-based frameless technique.

Article Synopsis
- Robotic technology in neurosurgery has progressed significantly over the last 30 years, enhancing the precision and safety of neuro-oncological surgeries through systems like the Robotic Surgical Assistant (ROSA).
- A study reviewed records of 348 patients who underwent procedures using ROSA, focusing on biopsy and laser interstitial thermal therapy, with results showing a high diagnostic yield of 98.6% and minimal complications.
- The research highlighted that complications were rare, with only 2 patients experiencing issues that resolved, and no permanent deficits were observed during an average follow-up period of 4.4 months.

Background: MR-guided stereotaxy has emerged as a viable alternative to CT-guided frame-based or frameless approaches. By offering direct MR-guided navigation, this technique addresses most limitations inherent to CT navigation, enabling submillimeter precision.
Method: We detail the workflow of using the ClearPoint® MR navigation system for laser catheter placement in the treatment of a hypothalamic hamartoma.

Stereotactic frameless needle brain biopsy is a common neurosurgical procedure performed via twist drill or open burr hole approaches. We aim to compare diagnostic yields and surgical outcomes to delineate the safety and efficacy of both approaches. A retrospective database of all stereotactic needle biopsy procedures performed at a single institution over 30 months was conglomerated.

Brainstem tumors account for 10-20% of pediatric brain tumors with a peak age of diagnosis between 7 and 9 years old and are often fatal. Historically, diagnosis of brainstem tumors has been largely based on imaging; however, recent studies have demonstrated the incongruities between preoperative MRI diagnosis and postoperative pathological findings highlighting the importance of brainstem biopsy for diagnostic accuracy. Stereotactic brainstem biopsy for pediatric brainstem tumors has been proven to be safe with a high diagnostic yield (96.
