Extraskeletal chondromas (EC) are uncommon, benign cartilaginous tumours. Most common locations are upper and lower extremities. Location in the neck is extremely rare and reported only within the anterior compartment. Data are limited to just four case reports in the paediatric population. The first case of EC in neck's posterior compartment is described herein. EC present peculiar features on imaging. Aetiology is unclear; however, trauma has been suggested as possible causative mechanism. Treatment of choice is surgical excision; recurrence is not uncommon, but additional removal seems to be resolutive...

Placement of pedicle screw in the subaxial cervical spine is a challenging and complex technique but provides significant biomechanical advantages. Despite its potential complications, the role and use of cervical pedicle screw (CPS) are growing. A literature review of the significant articles on applying pedicle screws in the subaxial cervical spine was done (articles between 1994 and 2020). Furthermore, our center´s experience of 15 years related to CPS is also discussed in this study. Transpedicular instrumentation in the subaxial cervical spine requires profound anatomical knowledge and meticulous surgical technique...

BACKGROUND: Lateral lumbar interbody fusions (LLIFs) utilize a retroperitoneal approach that avoids the intraperitoneal organs and manipulation of the anterior vasculature encountered in anterior approaches to the lumbar spine. The approach was championed by spinal surgeons; however, general/vasculature surgeons may be more comfortable with the approach. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to compare short-term outcomes following LLIF procedures based on whether a spine surgeon or access surgeon performed the approach...

BACKGROUND: Chiari malformation type 1 (CM1) is a structural abnormality in the skull and cerebellum, causing cerebellar tonsils to shift downward. Decompression of the posterior fossa is a common surgical method to relieve symptoms and prevent neurological deterioration. After posterior fossa decompression (PFD), individuals with CM1 were more likely to have respiratory arrest. Here, we present, for the first time, a comprehensive overview of the potential risk factors and causes of respiratory arrest following PFD...

BACKGROUND: Stability and flexibility of the spine are provided by the posterior longitudinal ligament (PLL). It plays a key role in the pathogenesis of lumbar disc herniation (LDH) by preventing disc protrusion. The effect of the suturing of the PLL on the intradural area was investigated. PATIENTS AND METHODS: The patients were included in whom lumbar microdiscectomy was performed between January 2021 and July 1, 2022. The patients were randomly divided into two groups as PLLs were sutured and unsutured...

Spatial computing (SC) in a surgical context offers reconstructed interactive four-dimensional models of radiological imaging. Preoperative and postoperative assessment with SC can offer more insight into personalized surgical approaches. Spine surgery has benefitted from the use of perioperative SC assessment. Herein, we describe the use of SC to perform a perioperative assessment of a revision spinal deformity surgery. A 79-year-old wheelchair-bound male presented to the neurosurgery clinic with a history of chronic lumbar pain associated with bilateral lower extremity weakness...
