Microsurgical approach to the cerebellomedullar region in rat.
A microsurgical study was carried out on 20 randomized rats in order to delineate a safe technique for cerebellobulbar approaches. The procedure takes 20-30 min and can be performed with minimum blood loss if anatomical landmarks, particularly the m. obliquus capitis cranialis, are respected.
