  Introduction: With the advent of minimally invasive/ stereotactic neurosurgical techniques accurate localization of tumor and differentiation from surrounding normal brain parenchyma has become imperative to give maximal benefit of surgery and reducing collateral neurodeficit. Despite the advancement of non-invasive radiological tools, direct evidence from the microscope during the operation guides the surgeon and gives the patient optimal benefit of the surgery. The aim of this study is to correlate intraoperative squash cytology and final histopathological diagnosis and find out efficacy and reliability of squash as a diagnostic tool. Method/study design: A cross sectional observational study conducted in the Department of Neuropathology from August 2018 to June 2019. All neurosurgical cases received for both intra-operative diagnosis and .. Read More»
