Anaesthetic considerations for posterior fossa surgery
Continuing Education in Anaesthesia Critical Care & Pain(2014)
Abstract
The posterior fossa or infratentorial fossa is a compact and rigid compartment with poor compliance. Small additional volumes (e.g. tumour, haematoma) within the space can result in significant elevation of the compartmental pressure resulting in life-threatening brainstem compression. Surgery in the posterior fossa presents the anaesthetist with significant challenges.
