Abstract: OBJECTIVE To describe and compare surgical exposure through microsurgical cadaveric dissection of the intercollicular region afforded by the median, paramedian, and extreme-lateral supracerebellar infratentorial (SCIT) approaches. METHODS Ten cadaveric heads were dissected using SCIT variant… read more here.

DOI: 10.4103/1673-5374.354517
Abstract: The trigeminal root entry zone is the zone at which the myelination switches from peripheral Schwann cells to central oligodendrocytes. Its special anatomical and physiological structure renders it susceptible to nerve injury. The etiology of… read more here.
