  • Title: Hemilaminectomy for large spinal extradural meningeal cysts: A case report and review of surgical techniques.
    Author: Lim MS, Khalil A, Okafo U, Dunlea O, Kaar G.
    Journal: Ann R Coll Surg Engl; 2016 Nov; 98(8):e162-e164. PubMed ID: 27388546.
    Abstract:
    Spinal extradural meningeal cysts (SEMC) are uncommon causes of back pain. The literature contains only case reports of this pathology, and treatment remains controversial due to its rarity. We present a case of SEMC and describe an approach via hemilaminectomy, with the choice of side guided by radiological imaging, followed by complete excision of the cyst and repair of the underlying dural defect.
