Özet

OBJECTIVE: Cervical meningiomas are uncommon intradural-extramedullary tumors that have a tendency to be situated anterior to the spinal cord. The optimal surgical corridor to reach purely ventral cervical meningiomas has not been established. This article presents a series of patients with ventral cervical meningiomas treated via 1 of 2 microneurosurgical approaches: the anterior approach with corpectomy and fusion or the posterolateral approach.
