Summary:A new device for brain biopsy is presented, the techniques and method of biopsy of brain structures are described which allow full value biopsy material to be obtained from any area of the brain with minimal risk for the patient and high accuracy of hitting the aim. Biopsy of the cerebral and cerebellar cortex, and thalamic and cerebellar nuclei was conducted in 82 patients during stereotaxic operations (34 patients with infantile cerebral paralysis, 8 with torsion dystonia, 8 with spasmodic torticollis). Stereotaxic biopsy of brain tumors of various localization was also performed in 20 patients.
