    Abstract:
    We provide the first report of successful salvage surgery for a post-C1 laminectomy symptomatic recurrence of a retro-odontoid pseudotumor (ROP) that caused myelopathy. The 72-year-old Japanese woman presented with an ROP causing symptomatic cervical myelopathy. With ultrasonography support, we performed the enucleation of the ROP via a transdural approach and fusion surgery for the recurrence of the mass. At the final observation 2-year post-surgery, MRI demonstrated the mass's regression and spinal cord decompression, and the patient's symptoms had improved. Our strategy is an effective option for a symptomatic recurrence of ROP.
