Surgical Removal of Brain Abscess or Tumor

In this procedure, the provider removes a portion of skull bone and excises a brain abscess present below the tentorium cerebella, a fold of dura mater separating the cerebellum from the occipital and temporal lobes. Alternatively, the tumor may be present in the posterior fossa, a small space in the brain near the brainstem. Choose a location to see hospital-reported price summaries.
