Abstract
Because of the potentially dangerous structures in the suboccipital region (such as the foramen magnum and vertebral artery), clinicians have tended to avoid this area, despite the pathology often seen there. This chapter discusses the regional pathology, the alternative techniques, and a novel interventional approach, the “Stealth” approach, for occipital decompression.
