The Vascularized Occipital Fascial Flap (OFF): A Novel Reconstructive Technique for Posterior Fossa Surgery
Abstract
Posterior fossa surgery is particularly prone to cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leakage. Several methods have been introduced to address and/or prevent this complication. However, to the best of our knowledge, the use of a vascularized fascial flap based on the occipital artery for the purpose of reconstruction has not been reported. We introduce the occipital fascial flap (OFF) for reconstruction of a craniectomy defect after the retrosigmoid...
