Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:This report illustrates the adequacy of minimally invasive exposure for the resection of an intramedullary ependymoma. CLINICAL PRESENTATION:The patient presented with a history of upper back pain, but a lesion was found during a workup for increased back pain after a motor vehicle accident. INTERVENTION:The intramedullary ependymoma was approached using a muscle-splitting retractor and extended hemilaminar exposure. The tumor was removed using conventional techniques. CONCLUSION:This minimally invasive exposure is adequate for selected intramedullary lesions and may be especially useful in patients with a high risk of postlaminectomy deformity.
