Abstract

A total of 88 biopsies of the central nervous system performed in this hospital during 2010 were reviewed; 36 patients underwent intraoperative diagnosis by the method of imprinting crushing or crashing with the aim of establishing the value of cytology for diagnosis of these tumors. A total of 29 true positive and six true negative were obtained, with one false positive and zero false negatives. The sensitivity of cytology was 100%, the specificity was 86%, the positive predictive value was 100%, the negative predictive value was 86% and the efficiency and accuracy was 97%. The factors that influenced the mistakes were analyzed and it was concluded that this study is a useful and rapid method for the diagnosis of these tumors.
