Abstract:
Microsurgical keyhole fenestration is a safe and effective surgical procedure for the treatment of middle fossa arachnoid cysts. This procedure can be performed with minimal morbidity through a keyhole craniotomy. Patient selection is crucial, as is knowledge of the surgical anatomy. We provide a detailed description of the technique, with Illustrations of the key aspects of the procedure.
