Abstract: The retrosigmoid craniotomy is the standard approach to resect pathologies in the cerebellopontine angle (CPA). Following the craniotomy, the dura mater is opened in the inferolateral direction and the basal cistern arachnoid is dissected in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1055/s-0039-1696081
Abstract: The occipital sinus may occasionally remain patent, but the incidence is extremely low and observed in less than 10% of cases. A persistent patent occipital sinus (POS) may be associated with other venous sinus abnormality.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1159/000517214
Abstract: Introduction: A patent persistent occipital sinus (OS) can be seen in 10% of adults. The presence of such a dominant draining OS can present as a challenge for posterior fossa surgeries. Occlusion or division of… read more here.

DOI: 10.3171/2022.5.jns212973
Abstract: OBJECTIVE The surgical treatment of Chiari malformation type I (CM-I) frequently involves dural incision at the posterior cranial fossa. In cases of persistent patent occipital sinus (OS), the sinus is usually obliterated and divided. However,… read more here.
