Surface Anatomy of the Transverse Sinus for the Midline Infratentorial Supracerebellar Approach

Abstract

AIM: Knowing the location of the transverse sinus in the midline supracerebellar infratentorial approach is important to prevent its inadvertent injury. The external landmarks of the occipital bone have been studied in this anatomic study in order to reveal their relationship with the transverse sinus.
