During the past 10 years, two different operative approaches to the pineal region have been recommended by different authors. Numerous reports have appeared in the literature, indicating the safe use of one or the other of these two techniques for the excision of masses in the pineal region. This paper reports experience with both techniques in the treatment of 15 patients with mass lesions in this area. Four patients underwent a supracerebellar infratentorial approach and 11 patients underwent an occipital transtentorial approach to the pineal region. These two approaches are compared in terms of anatomical exposure, technical difficulties, and real or potential complications. The authors prefer the occipital transtentorial approach in dealing with lesions in the pineal region.
