High resolution ultrasound has been used intraoperatively on forty-five patients with various intracranial lesions. The technique is quickly and easily carried out under sterile conditions in the operating room. Successful localization of both primary and metastatic tumors of various sizes, depths and consistencies have been made prior to extirpation or biopsy. Several of the biopsies were done through small burr holes. Arteriovenous malformations, abscesses, bone fragments from trauma, gliotic epileptic foci and ventricles for shunt placement have been readily found. No significant complications have been encountered. A new technique for localizing superficial lesions is described. An overall reduction in operating time and unnecessary trauma to the patient has resulted from more accurate intraoperative localization of intracranial lesions with real time ultrasound.
