Abstract:

Literature review is devoted to the role of frameless neuronavigation in surgery of distal aneurysms, cavernomas, arteriovenous malformations, Kimmerle’s anomaly and revascularization surgeries. Visualization methods used in preoperative preparation of patients with vascular lesions compatible with frameless neuronavigation and the methods of intraoperative visualization as an addition to navigation are described.

Keywords:
