Stereotactic Frame-Based Targeting of the Posterior Fossa: A Systematic Workflow for the Leksell G Frame
Our standardized protocol provides a flexible platform for posterior fossa DBS, allowing for low trajectories and multiple electrodes. Unlike conventional upright frame placement, an inverted frame permits an unobstructed view of suboccipital entry sites and incision placement. A conventional frame and regular planning software are sufficient, with no additional mathematical calculations required.
