Posterior fossa craniotomy: technical report

Abstract: -The use of craniotomy to approach supratentorial lesions is quite well established in the literature. The use of craniotomy for posterior fossa approaches, however, is not well described. The aim of this article is to describe the technical aspects of this approach and to delineate the important landmarks. In our cases, posterior fossa craniotomies have been utilized for treat different pathologies. Additionally, the technique has not added any additional risk, and the cosmetic results have been excellent. KE… Show more

“…We do advocate the use of a craniotomy instead of a craniectomy on the posterior fossa because replacement of the bone flap will provide better protection for the posterior fossa structures and a better cosmetic result 12 . Additionally, bone flap replacement will make a second approach easier in case of tumor recurrence 12 . The duramater is opened following the border of the sigmoid and transverse sinuses.…”
