With development of microsurgical technique, direct surgical resection of pineal region tumors has become sager, more effective. Tissue diagnosis allows for the initiation of appropriate therapies and resection can be curative or improve the survival. Even though several surgical approaches have been reported, author believes that the Infratentorial upracerebellar approach provide excellent exposure while allowing minimally invasive, relative low risk access to the pineal region tumors on the base of the experience with 14 patients over a 16-year period.
