Abstract
Microsurgical removal of cerebral cavernous malformations (CCMs) at the region of cerebellomesencephalic fissure is technical challenging. A 51-year-old gentleman complained severe vertigo and vomiting for 10 days before admission. The symptoms did not improve after medicine treatment. Neuroimaging studies in other hospital revealed a CCM and hematoma at the region of cerebellomesencephalic fissure invading both the left cerebellum and its peduncles. The CCM was successfully removed through a suboccipital transtentorial approach. The detailed surgical techniques were reported. A suboccipital transtentorial approach could be used to remove CCMs at the region of cerebellomesencephalic fissure.
