後頭蓋窩・頭蓋頚椎移行部の解剖

Microneurosurgical Anatomy of the Posterior fossa and Craniocervical Junction

Point

・後頭蓋窩には重要な構造物が複雑かつ密に存在している．

・解剖の知識を習得するために，骨，硬膜，神経組織，血管などの構造を関連づけることが重要である．

　The posterior fossa is a site where blood vessels and nerves are very dense, so surgery can be very difficult. Therefore, serious sequelae may occur due to complications. Surgeons should be familiar with the complex anatomy of the posterior fossa. This paper outlines the anatomy of the bone, brain, and nerves involved in the surgical approach from the lateral posterior to the cerebellar pontine angle and foramen magnum.
