Abstract：Objective To explore the value of diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) optic navigation to the diagnosis and surgical treatment of intracranial lesions. Methods The clinical data of 30 patients with 32 intracranial lesions, who received DTI optic navigation in the diagnosis and surgical treatment of the intracranial lesion from January, 2015 to December, 2015, were analyzed retrospectively. Results All the intracranial lesions were exactly located. The error of intraoperative navigation was (2.11±0.37)mm. The operating time was (222±60) min. The intraoperative bleeding volume was (207±133)ml. The lesions were totally removed in 25 patients and subtotally in 3. The intracranial aneurysms were successfully clipped in 3 patients. The definite diagnosis was made by the biopsy after the puncture in 1 patient. Of 27 patients with preoperative neurological dysfunction, 25 were recovered well and 2 unchanged after the surgery. Three patients without preoperative neurological dysfunction were recovered well. Conclusions DTI optic navigation which is a safe and easily handled technique is helpful to the diagnosis and surgical treatment of the intracranial lesions because it can exactly locate the lesions and lessen the postoperative complication.
