[Doppler sonographic characterization of vessels of the posterior cranial fossa using a suboccipital paramedian approach].
By means of transcranial Doppler sonography we examined the posterior cranial fossa from the suboccipital paramedian region. This enabled us to identify the basilar artery in its entire course, as well as the posterior inferior cerebellar artery. The advantages of this approach are, in particular, the possibilities of examining postoperatively by Doppler sonography after medial surgical approach, as well as the future utilisation the technique within the overall framework of stereometric transcranial Doppler sonography.
