Abstract
It is sometimes difficult to apply the headframes of stereotactic systems in awake patients who are lethargic or demented or in patients who are very sensitive to the discomfort of local anesthestic injection. A device for external stabilization of the stereotactic system during its application to the head is described. This device, a modification of the Somi brace, is easy to apply, allows for adjustment of the base ring in all planes and provides sufficient stability even in obtunded or uncooperative patients. This device simplifies and makes more precise the application of the stereotactic headframe and may be of considerable utility in stereotactic surgery.
