Abstract
✓ The authors describe a cylindrical retractor that is attached to a standard stereotaxic frame. This retractor provides a route for stereotaxic procedures and exposure of and a reference structure for the computer-assisted removal of deep-seated intracranial lesions defined stereotaxically by computerized tomography and magnetic resonance imaging.Keywords
