A New Classification for Pathologies of Spinal Meninges-Part 2: Primary and Secondary Intradural Arachnoid Cysts.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:The dissection of cadaveric specimens is very important for a more sophisticated understanding of neurosurgical anatomic features and approaches. Teaching known approaches to residents or learning new approaches is best performed in a cadaveric laboratory. The utility of neurosurgical cadaveric dissections ca...
