    Author: Hu P, Zhang HQ.
    Journal: Acta Neurochir (Wien); 2020 Jul; 162(7):1767-1770. PubMed ID: 32436008.
    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: Microsurgical removal of cerebral cavernous malformations (CCMs) at the region of cerebellomesencephalic fissure is technical challenging. METHODS: A 51-year-old gentleman complained severe vertigo and vomiting for 10 days before admission. The symptoms did not improve after medicine treatment. Neuroimaging studies in other hospital revealed a CCM and hematoma at the region of cerebellomesencephalic fissure invading both the left cerebellum and its peduncles. The CCM was successfully removed through a suboccipital transtentorial approach. The detailed surgical techniques were reported. CONCLUSION: A suboccipital transtentorial approach could be used to remove CCMs at the region of cerebellomesencephalic fissure.
