Posterior cranial FOSSA space occupying lesions: an institutional experience

Conduction of sensory action potentials across the posterior fossa in infratentorial space-occupying lesions in man.

Central conduction time following median nerve stimulation has been recorded in 28 patients with infratentorial space occupying lesions. Fourteen of these (50%) showed a prolonged central conduction time, which invariably involved that segment of the conduction time between the dorsal column nuclei generators and the generation site for P15, which we believe to be the upper brain stem or thalam...

Clinicopathological study of posterior fossa intra-cranial lesions

Received 10 February 2014 Accepted 26 July 2014 Online 31 July 2014 Print 31 July 2014 Tumors of the posterior fossa of brain leads to complications like brain stem compression, herniation and death because of its critical location, limited space and involvement of vital brain stem nuclei. This study has been conducted in the department of Pathology and Neurosurgery, Gandhi Medical College, Sec...

Posterior cranial fossa depressed fracture

© 2014 Asian Journal of Neurosurgery | Published by Wolters Kluwer ‐ Medknow small and crowded space and any lesion reducing the volume can elevate the intra-cavitary pressure leading to fourth ventricular compression and hydrocephalus, a mechanism may be responsible for brain stem dysfunction in cases of closed depressed fracture of the posterior fossa. As seen in the present case, early surgi...

Traumatic epidural hematomas in posterior cranial fossa.

Epidural hematoma of the posterior cranial fossa (EHPCF) is a rare complication in head injuries. Furthermore, nonspecific clinical signs and the rare occurrence of this lesion in craniocerebral injuries make the establishment of a diagnosis more difficult. The aim of the paper is to point to the advantages of early diagnosis. During the 1982-2008 period, 18 patients with EHPCF were operated on...
