Minimally Invasive Supracondylar Transtubercular (MIST) Approach to the Lower Clivus
World Neurosurgery(2012)
Abstract
The MIST approach could be considered as a potential alternative to the FLST approach in the treatment of lesions involving the inferior and middle clivus, and anterolateral lower brainstem; it does not require a C1 laminectomy, significant disruption of the atlanto-occipital joint, nor extensive exposure of the extracranial VA. Moreover, the MIST approach is an ideal companion to endoscope-assisted neurosurgery.
