Abstract
We report a case of multiple brain abscesses' puncture, employing the ROSA™ Brain surgical robot (Zimmer Biomet) and the O-arm® O2 Imaging System (Medtronic). A 51-year-old man was diagnosed with multiple supratentorial ring enhancing cystic lesions consistent with brain abscesses. A neurological deterioration occurred despite broad spectrum antibiotic therapy, due to mass effect of the abscesses. Stereotactic aspiration was performed using the described technique, allowing a single stage puncture of the cerebral lesions. In this case, the robot-assisted and image-guided procedure permitted an accurate, quick, and efficient targeting of the multiple abscesses for drainage.
