Abstract
- Background: A 54-year-old female was referred to our clinic with a lesion of the lower fourth ventricle extending to the median aperture. Here, we report the use a minimally invasive sub-occipital approach (MISA) as a safe and effective surgical management.<br />Method: We performed a MISA using a short midline incision and a 1-cm sub-occipital craniectomy. Dissection of the lesion was performed, and "en bloc" resection could be achieved. The lesion was confirmed to be a grade I sub-ependymoma.<br />Conclusion: MISA can be safely used when confronted to a lesion of the lower fourth ventricle.<br /> (© 2020. The Author(s).)
