Transoral Resection of a Giant Cell Tumor in the Odontoid With Cementoplasty: A Technical Case Report
The transoral approach proved to be an effective and minimally invasive route for resecting the GCT at the odontoid in this case. Postoperatively, the patient experienced mild, transient dysphagia without neurological deficits. Cementoplasty of the odontoid proved to be a safe and effective procedure in this case, with the use of neuronavigation and intraoperative cone-beam computed tomography providing valuable feedback for the surgeon.
