Cisterna magna puncture in a rabbit model.

The rabbits were fixed in a prone position and the atlanto-occipital membrane was exposed.

A 22-gauge venous indwelling trocar was introduced into the cisterna magna at an angle of 30° between the trocar and horizontal plane. Clear cerebrospinal fluid discharge from the trocar was considered a successful puncture.
