Harvey Cushing played a pivotal role in establishing neurosurgery as a distinct surgical discipline. One of his most important contributions was defining the surgical removal of posterior fossa tumors. Compulsive preoperative evaluation followed by meticulous surgical technique as well as incorporation of maneuvers such as ventricular puncture and electrocautery further advanced resection of tumors in this region. Herein, the authors review Cushing's contributions to posterior fossa surgery.

ABSTRACT We evaluated four patients who had occult intrasacral meningocele with multimodality radiographic imaging techniques. The clinical features, radiological findings, gross appearances of the lesion at surgery, surgical technique, histopathological features of the cyst wall, and surgical outcome are described. The role of magnetic resonance imaging in the preoperative evaluation compared with standard radiographic techniques is discussed. Theories regarding the pathogenesis of this lesion are reviewed.
