Title: surgical resection of intradural extramedullary tumors in the atlantoaxial spine via a posterior approach.The objective of this retrospective study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of atlantoaxial intradural extramedullary (idem) tumor resection via a one-stage posterior approach.Between (b)(6) 2008 and (b)(6) 2018, a total of 13 patients who underwent c1-c2 laminectomy and/or unilateral facetectomy via the posterior approach were included in the study.All tumor resections were performed using standard microsurgical techniques, and the dura mater was closed using running sutures with 4-0 nurolon.This procedure is followed by spinal instrumentation and fusion.The average follow-up was 35.3 ± 6.9 mo (range, 26-49 mo).Reported complications include cerebrospinal fluid (csf) leakage (n=2) in conclusion, total resection of atlantoaxial idem tumors is feasible and effective via a posterior approach.Surgical reconstruction should be considered to avoid iatrogenic kyphosis and improve spinal stability and overall clinical outcomes.
