Currently accepted approaches include occipital interhemispheric and supracerebellar infratentorial approaches, which have documented drawbacks.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>OBJECTIVE<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>To propose an alternative approach to the posterior tentorial incisural space, the interhemispheric precuneus retrosplenial transfalcine approach (IPRTA).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>METHODS<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A total of 6 colored-silicone-injected adult cadaveric heads were dissected. We measured the interval between bridging veins and studied computed tomography venography scans of 20 subjects to confirm the feasibility of the IPRTA. Bony landmarks, the region's bridging veins, and the anterior and posterior borders of the approach were identified. The surgical corridor widths (veins\u2019 interval) and lengths were compared between alternative midline approaches. We also reviewed 4 consecutive clinical cases using this approach.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>RESULTS<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The IPRTA provides the shortest distance to the anterior and posterior limits of the posterior tentorial incisura. Moreover, it is the only approach that provides direct visualization of the anterior and posterior limits of falcotentorial junction meningiomas. In all specimens and patients, a minimum 30-mm interval between the anterior and posterior parietal veins was found in at least one of the hemispheres. Tumor removal was successful in all 4 patients but resulted in mild paresthesia in the lower extremities of 2 patients and temporary foot drop in 1 patient.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>CONCLUSION<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The IPRTA offers the shortest and most direct corridor for falcotentorial meningiomas and provides excellent visualization of most of the critical structures in the region. Detailed preoperative evaluation of the deep and superficial venous structures is recommended.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1093\/ons\/opab095","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,4,30]],"date-time":"2021-04-30T13:19:30Z","timestamp":1619788770000},"page":"48-56","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Interhemispheric Precuneus Retrosplenial Transfalcine Approach for Falcotentorial Meningiomas: Anatomic Study and Clinical Series"],"prefix":"10.1227","volume":"21","author":[{"given":"Emrah","family":"Celtikci","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurological Surgery, University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA"},{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Gazi University Faculty of Medicine, Ankara, Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Maximiliano","family":"Nunez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurological Surgery, Stanford University, Stanford, California, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"James K","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurological Surgery, Center for Skull Base and Pituitary Surgery, Neurological Institute of New Jersey, Rutgers New Jersey Medical School, Newark, New Jersey, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Paul A","family":"Gardner","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurological Surgery, University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4946-1524","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Aaron A","family":"Cohen-Gadol","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurological Surgery, Indiana University, Indianapolis, Indiana, USA"},{"name":"The Neurosurgical Atlas, Carmel, Indiana, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Juan C","family":"Fernandez-Miranda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurological Surgery, Stanford University, Stanford, California, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,8]]},"reference":[{"issue":"19","key":"bib1-20250821","first-page":"19","article-title":"Functional craniology and brain evolution: from paleontology to biomedicine","volume":"8","author":"Bruner","year":"2014","journal-title":"Front Neuroanat"},{"issue":"6","key":"bib2-20250821","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"923","DOI":"10.3171\/jns.1989.71.6.0923","article-title":"Microsurgical anatomy of the tentorial sinuses","volume":"71","author":"Matsushima","year":"1989","journal-title":"J Neurosurg"},{"issue":"2","key":"bib3-20250821","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"490","DOI":"10.1093\/neurosurgery\/26.CN_suppl_1.490","article-title":"Surgical treatment of pineal tumors","volume":"26","author":"Stein","year":"1979","journal-title":"Clin Neurosurg"},{"issue":"5","key":"bib5-20250821","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1136","DOI":"10.1227\/01.NEU.0000333780.12058.44","article-title":"Comparison of posterior approaches to the posterior incisural space: microsurgical anatomy and proposal of a new method, the occipital bi-transtentorial\/falcine approach","volume":"62","author":"Kawashima","year":"2008","journal-title":"Neurosurgery"},{"key":"bib6-20250821","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"129","DOI":"10.1007\/978-3-7091-1434-6_23","article-title":"Surgical brain injury and edema prevention","volume":"118","author":"Sherchan","year":"2013","journal-title":"Acta Neurochir Suppl"},{"issue":"4","key":"bib7-20250821","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"298","DOI":"10.1016\/0090-3019(88)90161-9","article-title":"Three-quarter prone approach to the pineal-tentorial region","volume":"29","author":"Ausman","year":"1988","journal-title":"Surg Neurol"},{"issue":"3-4","key":"bib8-20250821","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"130","DOI":"10.1007\/BF01417679","article-title":"Surgical management of pineal region tumors","volume":"134","author":"Bruce","year":"1995","journal-title":"Acta Neurochir (Wien)"},{"issue":"2-4","key":"bib9-20250821","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"137","DOI":"10.1007\/BF01540866","article-title":"Treatment of tumours of the pineal region and posterior part of the third ventricle","volume":"116","author":"Herrmann","year":"1992","journal-title":"Acta Neurochir (Wien)"},{"issue":"1","key":"bib10-20250821","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"141","DOI":"10.3171\/jns.1983.58.1.0141","article-title":"Infratentorial approach to the pineal region in the prone position: Concorde position.
