Posterior Cranial Fossa Base Craniotomy

A Posterior Fossa Base Craniotomy (Park Bench Position) is a surgical procedure to make an opening in the back of the head by removing a small section of bone. The posterior cranial fossa is located at the base of the skull and contains the brainstem and the cerebellum. There are many reasons a surgeon will perform a craniotomy to reach the posterior cranial fossa, including tumor resection, removal of vascular malformations, decompression, or to gain access to the area for shunt placement or biopsies.
