Posterior Fossa Operation

Abstract An unusual complication of air embolism through a ventriculoatrial shunt occurred in a patient undergoing posterior fossa operation in the sitting position. Because ventriculoatrial shunts are uncommon, this potential complication may not be widely recognized. A case is presented and the clinical aspects are discussed. (Neurosurgery 16:83–84, 1985)

Posterior Fossa Operation

Abstract A 16-year-old boy was noted to have an apparent intradural sacral mass 6 weeks after the excision of a 4th ventricle ependymoma. Although spinal axis radiation was considered, it was decided to make a definitive tissue diagnosis. At sacral laminectomy, only segmental arachnoiditis was found. The implications of this finding are the subject of this case report.

Mature teratomas (MTs) of the posterior fossa are extremely rare. The authors present a case of a prenatal diagnosis of an MT splitting the brainstem. Representative images as well as the clinical and surgical course are presented. Literature regarding “split brainstem” and MT of the posterior fossa is discussed.
