In 1919 Wegeforth, Ayer and Essick described the direct puncture of cisterna cerebello-medullaris. Without knowledge and independent of this Karl Eskuchen recommended in 1923 to tap the cistern after touching the squama occipitalis before. His proceeding found general resonance. It is less dangerous and practicable without much experience. Originally there were numerous diagnostical, therapeutical and scientific indications for the suboccipital puncture. Most of them are out of date. Still, it is the only practicable alternative when the lumbal puncture was with no purpose.
1919年，韦格福思、艾耶尔和埃西克描述了小脑延髓池的直接穿刺。卡尔·埃斯库亨在不知情且与之无关的情况下，于1923年建议在触及枕骨鳞部后穿刺该池。他的操作得到了广泛认可。它危险性较小，且无需太多经验即可实施。最初，枕下穿刺有许多诊断、治疗和科学指征。其中大多数现已过时。不过，当腰椎穿刺无意义时，它仍是唯一可行的替代方法。
