Several surgical approaches for posterior fossa craniotomy

Several surgical approaches for posterior fossa craniotomy
The surgical approach to posterior fossa craniotomy determines the required patient positioning.
  • The midline suboccipital approach (panel A) often requires the patient to be positioned prone or sitting.
  • For the lateral suboccipital (panel B) and temporal (panel C) approaches, the patient may be placed in the lateral decubitus or park bench positions, or supine with the head turned.
