Summary

Lesions requiring resection in the posterior mediobasal temporal or adjacent occipital lobe can be difficult to access surgically. An extra-axial supracerebellar approach utilizing an opening in the tentorium can be accomplished through a keyhole suboccipital paramedian craniotomy to give the surgeon adequate exposure to address lesions in this location. Herein we describe the keyhole technique for a supracerebellar-transtentorial approach to posterior mediobasal temporal lesions and the associated benefits, challenges, and clinical pearls.
