BACKGROUND: Diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) is a childhood tumor with a dismal prognosis. Emerging molecular signatures have paved the way for stereotactic biopsy in selected centers. We present our experience in DIPG stereotactic needle biopsy using the Robotic Stereotactic-Assisted system (ROSA) in a series of consecutive pediatric patients.
METHODS: All stereotactic biopsy procedures for DIPG performed during the last year at our institution were considered. All procedures were carried out using the ROSA surgical assistant through a precoronary approach. All children underwent a postoperative computed tomography scan to document possible surgical complications and confirm the site of biopsy. Postoperative clinical changes were recorded to test morbidity of the procedure.
RESULTS: In the last year, we performed 7 pontine needle biopsies. Specimens were diagnostic and useful for molecular analysis in all cases. No surgical complications were observed. One child showed a transient neurologic worsening related to the biopsy that resolved within 2 weeks. The combination of the precoronary approach and use of the stereotactic ROSA system allowed single-session surgeries in all cases.
CONCLUSIONS: Pontine biopsy for DIPG is a safe procedure in selected centers. The advantages of the single-session procedure we described might be of particular interest in the pediatric setting.
