✓ In six patients with pineal tumors, a posterior fossa approach was used to explore the pineal region. This approach avoided the deep venous system and led to no mortality and minimal morbidity. Because a certain percentage of pineal lesions are benign and amenable to resection, it is recommended that all pineal tumors be explored prior to a decision regarding radiotherapy.
