Removal Of A Tumor From The Back Of The Brain

Alabama rates for HCPCS 61518

Opens the skull at the back of the head to remove a tumor from the posterior fossa, the compartment that holds the cerebellum and the brainstem. Growths here can block the flow of fluid around the brain and cause headache, unsteadiness, and vomiting. It applies to tumors growing from the brain tissue itself rather than from its covering membranes.
