Tabetic lumbar osteoarthropathy with cauda equina syndrome. Case report.

abstract：BACKGROUND:The retrolabyrinthine and transcrusal approaches (RLA and TCA, respectively) are the two most often used posterior transpetrosal approaches that are used to treat lesions in the retrochiasmatic region. Endoscopes are increasingly used in neurosurgical practice. To determine whether a difference exists betwee...
