The infratentorial-supracerebellar exposure of tumors in the pineal area.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:Although the necessity of craniotomy for an unruptured cerebral aneurysm (UCA) is controversial, surgery is warranted if surgical risks are less than the risks of natural history. In this study, we investigated the need for craniotomy for UCAs on the basis of surgical risk. METHODS:History of cerebrovascular...
