Table 1. Comparison of the Three Routes Mentioned.

Supracerebellar Infratentorial Occipital Transtentorial Parietal Interhemispheric
Average distance 53.31 mm 80.13 mm 103.77 mm
Standard deviation 21.46 mm 3.82 mm 10.98 mm
Exposure length Aqueduct to superior part of the fourth ventricle Aqueduct to facial colliculus Aqueduct to foramen Magendie
Splenium cut No No Yes
Tentorial cut No Yes No

Calculated in terms of distance from the surface to the fourth ventricle, the standard deviation of these distances, the amount of exposure gained, with every route, the need to cut the splenium part of the corpus callosum and whether there is a need for a tentorial cut.
