Surgical resection of an intradural extramedullary spinal tumor.
Neurosurgical focus: Video(2023)
Abstract
Large ventrally located spinal meningiomas are typically resected via a posterolateral or lateral approach. Optimal outcomes are associated with good preoperative functional status (i.e., modified McCormick grade < 4), while recurrence rates may be predicted by degree and quality of resection (i.e., low Simpson grade). This video describes the operative techniques for resection of a large ventral C2 intradural extramedullary meningioma in a 71-year-old male presenting with hemibody sensory loss and abnormal gait. A paramedian approach was performed, allowing for adequate exposure and gross-total resection. The patient was discharged on postoperative day 2 and showed near-complete resolution of sensory deficits.
