Background: Intraspinal extradural ventral cysts in the lumbar spine can cause back pain and neurological deficits of the lower extremities. For the resection of this type of space-occupying lesion, the transdural approach has not been reported in the literature.
Case Description: A 66-year-old man presented, suffering from progressive radiation pain of his bilateral lower extremities. Imaging examination revealed a cystic lesion in ventral side of lumbar spinal canal. We conducted the excision of the cyst with the transdural approach. The symptoms of the patient disappeared immediately after the operation and recurrence of the symptoms has not been observed in the 3-month follow-up.
Conclusions: This operation approach is safe and effective. Compared with the previous surgical approach reported in the literature, by this approach surgeons could achieve less injury, shorter operation time, and the same surgical outcomes in the short term. Therefore, we would like to present this approach to provide an alternative to deal with similar lesions.

Transdural location as a predictor of recurrence in spinal cord meningiomas.

Spinal cord meningiomas are typically benign, rare tumors that pose clinical challenges owing to their location and potential for spinal cord compression. This study aimed to assess the radiological features of spinal cord meningiomas and the key factors associated with their recurrence. We conducted a retrospective, single-institution study on 67 patients with pathologically confirmed spinal cord meningiomas who were surgically treated between January 2016 and December 2023.

Article Synopsis
- * The girl experienced a rapid decline after surgery, ultimately resulting in life-threatening infarcts due to MMS, highlighting the need for timely diagnosis of this condition post-radiotherapy.
- * To mitigate risks during treatment for tumor recurrence, medical management and revascularization are key, along with a recommendation for a trans-nasal surgical approach to preserve blood flow from existing collaterals.
A Prevalence Anatomic-Imaging Study of the Posterior Inferior Cerebellar Artery's Origin.

Article Synopsis
- The vertebral arteries (VAs) help supply blood to the brain and can form something called the basilar artery. The posterior inferior cerebellar artery (PICA) usually comes from these VAs.
- A study looked at 225 CT scans and discovered there are different ways PICA can start: it can be missing, come from outside the VA, through the VA's dural ring, or from inside the VA.
- Most of the time, PICA was found coming from inside the VA, but some were either missing or came from different places, which could make surgery tricky.

Spontaneous spinal cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks are uncommon but can be neurologically debilitating. When initial treatments fail, definitive repair or closure of the leak is indicated. Depending upon the type of leak present, innovative strategies for their treatment have been developed.

Transforaminal lumbar interbody fusions (TLIFs) are performed for various lumbar spine pathologies. Posterior migration of an interbody cage is a complication that may result in neurologic injury and require reoperation. Sparse information exists regarding the safety and efficacy of a transdural approach for cage retrieval.
