Study of correlation between intraoperative crush smears, frozen section diagnosis and biopsy results of intracranial lesions
Abstract
Crush cytology and frozen sections of intracranial space occupying lesions (ICSOLs) are an effective and time saving tool for intra operative consultation. In a stereotactic biopsy, it enables the pathologist to rightly comment whether (a) brain tissue is there or not in the biopsy, (b) possible nature of the lesion. In a resection for an ICSOL, the techniques help the surgeon with an intra operative working diagnosis.
