Introduction
?Resection of the inferior temporal and occipital lesions is challenging due to proximity of visual tracts, Wernicke’s area, and the vein of Labbé. Seeking to mitigate these risks, we have explored SCTTKA and correlated an anatomical and clinical study.
Methods
?Three variations SCTTKA (2.5x2.0cm craniotomy) studied on cadavers: 1) median, 2) paramedian, 3) lateral. Surgical exposure area and anatomical targets indicated with 0°endoscopes by stereotactic navigation. Bone and soft tissues thicknesses for different SCTTKA were measured on patient CT images (n=20). Similar surgical planning performed on patients.
?Comparative cases included 2 tentorial meningiomas and 1 hippocampal cavernous malformation using paramedian SCTTKA; 1 occipital glioblastoma using lateral SCTTKA. Gross total resection was achieved without deficit in all cases.
Results
?In cadavers,
?Median SCTTKA allows adequate surgical view only to posterior part of inferior occipital region.
?Paramedian SCTTKA provides a surgical view for inferior occipital region except for tentorial incisura. After tentorium cutting, the access yields sufficient angles for resecting petrous region lesion and mediobasal temporal lobe lesion.
?Lateral SCTTKA gives access to lesions located close to the tentorial incisura. A favorable access to mediobasal temporal region can be achieved also after incising tentorium.

B. and C. Maximal distal reachable points that were
selected on the tentorial surface (white line area) and on the petrous surface
(yellow line area) to calculate the area of surgical exposure through the
paramedian and lateral SCTT keyhole approaches
Results
?In cadavers, median SCTTKA traversed the thickest bone and soft
tissues, narrowing the range of bilateral surgical view.
?CT imaging showed
that the thickness of bone and soft tissues dissected in median, paramedian, and
lateral STTKA were: 17±4mm/7±2mm/7±2mm and 29±6mm/26±6mm/20±5mm
respectively.
?Clinical data confirmed findings of cadaveric dissection
study.
?A. The thickness of soft tissue in median (M) and paramedian (PM) approaches
wassignificantly thicker than in lateral approach (both P<0.01).
?B. The
median (M) SCTT keyhole approach traversed the thickest bone comparison tothe
paramedian (PM) (P<0.01) and lateral (L) (P<0.01) approaches.
Results
?Four patients undervent SCTTKA procedure. Two patients with
tentorial meningiomas and one with a hippocampal cavernous malformation had
lesions removed using the paramedian SCTT keyhole approach. One patient had an
occipital glioblastoma removed using the lateral SCTT keyhole approach. All
patients underwent preoperative assessments before surgery.
Discussion
?In all exposures, the surgical field may relate to the shape
of the cerebellum and tentorium. A tentori- um with a greater incline may
require more retraction on the cerebellum and more difficulty in opening the
tentorium for access.
?The crucial structures, such as occipital sinus, vermian veins, the vein of Labbé, the trochlear nerve, and so on, may limit the surgical exposure area in these three approaches. Some anatomical struc- tures can be sacrificed without severe surgical complications; but some anatomical structures should be protected intact, given ensuing serious complications if occluded or resected during the surgical procedure.
?Figures A and B show the occipital sinus and vermian veins that obstruct the
entry of median SCTT keyhole approach.
?Figure C shows the vein of Labbé and
the bridging veins to the tentorial sinus. These veins may limit the surgical
expo-sure of paramedian SCTT keyhole approach.
?Figure D shows the trochlear
nerve that runs anteriorly between the attached and free borders of the
tentorium after it comes out of brainstem. It should be protected when the
tentorium is cut during the paramedian and lateral SCTT keyhole approaches.
Summary Points
?The paramedian SCTT keyhole approach provides an adequate
surgical angle and exposure to most of the inferior occipital region and the
petrous part of the temporal bone.
?The lateral endoscopic SCTT keyhole
approach accesses the middle fossa and tentorial incisura region
directly.
?The median SCTT keyhole approach accesses the bilateral inferior
occipital region and can be the alternate choice for paramedian SCTT keyhole
approach.
?A carefully selected keyhole SCTT approach in combination with
endoscopic technique may provide crucial surgical advantages and allow the
surgeon to minimize approach-associated morbidity while accessing difficult
supracerebellar lesions.
