Three bur holes were made on each side of the skulls (32 cerebral hemispheres). The authors then introduced plastic catheters through the bur holes to evaluate pertinent cranial and neural landmarks.<\/jats:p>\n<jats:p>The first bur hole, located anterior to the auricle of the ear, appeared to have a particular anatomical relationship with the anterior aspect of the petrous portion of the temporal bone and the most anterior aspect of the midbrain. The second bur hole, whose base was located 1 cm above the interface of the parietomastoid and squamous sutures, had a particular relationship with the posterior border of the petrous portion of the temporal bone and with the posterior aspect of the midbrain. The third bur hole, whose base was located 1 cm above the asterion, was mostly supratentorial and particularly related to the preoccipital notch.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>The preauricular bur hole and the bur hole whose base was located 1 cm above the interface of the parietomastoid and squamous sutures delimit anteriorly and posteriorly the external projection of the petrous bone and the midbrain. The middle fossa floor is located anterior to the site of the preauricular bur hole, and the superior surface of the tentorium is posterior to the bur hole located above the parietomastoid\u2013squamous suture interface. Together with the bur hole whose base is located above the asterion, these bur holes can be considered standards for temporooccipital craniotomies.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3171\/jns.2007.106.3.449","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,1,24]],"date-time":"2008-01-24T12:47:56Z","timestamp":1201178876000},"page":"449-454","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["The suprapetrosal craniotomy"],"prefix":"10.3171","volume":"106","author":[{"given":"Guilherme Carvalhal","family":"Ribas","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Aldo Junqueira","family":"Rodrigues","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1754","reference":[{"key":"b1-1060449","series-title":"Surgery of the Cranial Base","author":"Al-Mefty","year":"1989"},{"key":"b2-1060449","series-title":"Neurosurgery","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"510","DOI":"10.1227\/00006123-198803000-00010","article-title":"Petrosal approach for petroclival meningiomas","volume":"22","author":"Al-Mefty","year":"1988"},{"key":"b3-1060449","series-title":"Microneurosurgery","first-page":"311","article-title":"Acoustic neuromas: middle fossa and translabyrinthine removal","author":"Brackman","year":"1985"},{"key":"b4-1060449","series-title":"Surg Gynecol Obstet","first-page":"297","article-title":"The establishment of cerebral hernia as a decompressive measure for inaccessible brain tumors with the description of intermuscular methods of making the bone defect in temporal and occipital regions","volume":"1","author":"Cushing","year":"1905"},{"key":"b5-1060449","series-title":"Operative Surgery: Neurosurgery","first-page":"263","article-title":"Aneurysms of the posterior circulation","author":"Drake","year":"1979"},{"key":"b6-1060449","series-title":"J Neurosurg","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"230","DOI":"10.3171\/jns.1961.18.2.0230","article-title":"Bleeding aneurysms of the basilar artery.
