Cerebrospinal fluid leaks following spinal surgery: use of fat grafts for prevention and repair. Technical note.

abstract：:Giant serpentine aneurysms (GSAs) are defined as partially thrombosed giant aneurysms with persistent serpentine vascular channels. Surgical management of these rare lesions is difficult because of their large size, complex structure, and unique hemodynamics. The authors report two cases of patients harboring GSAs wit...
