Introduction of Universal WON-Point for Posterior Cranial Fossa Puncture in Monitoring Infratentorial Intracranial Pressure
The universal WON point is a novel anatomic landmark enabling safe and reliable iICP monitoring through minimally invasive sensor placement, with cadaveric and radiological analyses confirming a consistent safe zone and 3 pilot clinical cases demonstrating feasibility in real patients. Further clinical validation is warranted to standardize its use in neurosurgery.
