Objectives: To evaluate the precision and safety of a novel technique of free-hand frameless pinless AXIEM™-based navigation guided biopsy of deep-seated brain lesions in a low-middle income country.
Methods: This retrospective study included 45 patients who underwent free-hand frameless pinless AXIEM™-based navigation guided biopsy of deep-seated brain lesions using the Medtronic-Stealth S7 system over a 5-year period (January 2019 to December 2023) at the Department of Neurosurgery, Punjab Institute of Neurosciences, Lahore, Pakistan.
Results: A total of 45 patients were included in this study.

Introduction: Craniosynostosis, marked by premature skull suture closure, manifests as isolated or syndromic cases. While isolated cases are more common, syndromic craniosynostoses are associated with a range of complications. This study aims to compare postoperative outcomes in isolated and syndromic craniosynostosis, hypothesizing greater complications in the latter.
