A surgical technique to expand the operative corridor for supracerebellar infratentorial approaches: technical note.

abstract：:Of 812 patients with intracranial tumours treated by radiosurgery during the period 1984-1990, 129 had meningiomas. Of these latter, 72 had middle fossa meningiomas. Patients with meningiomas treated by us since March 1990 are not included in this report since we established the investigative principle of a minimum of...
