ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
To present results of intra-operative consultation in surgical neuropathology and discuss the diagnostic guideline for squash cytology. MATERIAL ANDMETHOD:
The intra-operative pathological diagnosis of 120 neurosurgical specimens was compared with the final histologic diagnosis. Squash preparation was used solely in 83 cases, frozen sections alone in 3 cases, and both techniques in the remaining. An algorithm for cytologic diagnosis was described.RESULTS:
The intra-operative pathological diagnoses in neurosurgery were completely (83%) and partially (13%) correlated with the final results.CONCLUSIONS:
Intra-operative diagnosis in surgical neuropathology is reliable. Squash cytology is highly recommended as an alternative approach.
