Extreme Lateral Supracerebellar Infratentorial Approach to the Posterolateral Mesencephalon: Technique and Clinical Experience

Abstract

The extreme lateral supracerebellar infratentorial approach differs from the midline and paramedian supracerebellar infratentorial variants in the area of exposure, patient positioning, and location of the craniotomy. The technique is effective for approaching the posterolateral mesencephalon.
