Abstract
The occipital transtentorial approach to the high posterior fossa has been previously described for the adult neurosurgical patient. In this presentation 5 pediatric patients with differing pathology in the posterior fossa are reported following successful occipital transtentorial operations. The advantages of this approach over the suboccipital route for microneurosurgery are discussed.
