The mean age was 49.7 yr. The average nidus size was 2.12 cm. Of those, 3 patients presented with hemorrhage and 1 with headache and tinnitus. Extreme lateral SC-IT approach was used in all cases.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>RESULTS<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Complete resection was achieved in all cases as verified with postoperative angiogram. In 1 case, intraoperative rupture with intraventricular hemorrhage was encountered, and the patient required temporary external ventricular drainage. There was no permanent complication or neurological deficit. The modified Rankin Scale (at discharge or follow-up) was less than 2 in all cases.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>CONCLUSION<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The AVMs located primarily in the SCP are distinct compared to brainstem AVMs, and their management should be different. Extreme lateral SC-IT approach should be considered as a viable alternative surgical approach for resection of these AVMs, and excellent surgical results can be achieved.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1093\/ons\/opaa472","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,1,23]],"date-time":"2021-01-23T18:28:01Z","timestamp":1611426481000},"page":"E334-E339","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Technical Note: Extreme Lateral Supracerebellar Approach for Resection of Superior Cerebellar Peduncle Arteriovenous Malformations"],"prefix":"10.1227","volume":"20","author":[{"given":"Georgios","family":"Klironomos","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, South Shore University Hospital, Northwell Health, Bay Shore, New York"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Amrit K","family":"Chiluwal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, North Shore University Hospital, Northwell Health, Manhasset, New York"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Amir R","family":"Dehdashti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, North Shore University Hospital, Northwell Health, Manhasset, New York"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"bib1-20251027","first-page":"77","article-title":"Discussion of paper by CMH Howell on tumors of the pineal body","volume":"3","author":"Horsley","year":"1910","journal-title":"Proc R Soc Med"},{"issue":"2","key":"bib2-20251027","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"197","DOI":"10.3171\/jns.1971.35.2.0197","article-title":"The infratentorial supracerebellar approach to pineal lesions","volume":"35","author":"Stein","year":"1971","journal-title":"J Neurosurg"},{"issue":"5","key":"bib3-20251027","first-page":"331","article-title":"Supracerebellar-infratentorial approach to pineal tumors","volume":"11","author":"Stein","year":"1979","journal-title":"Surg Neurol"},{"issue":"2","key":"bib4-20251027","first-page":"59","article-title":"Cerebral cavernous haemangiomas or cavernomas.
