Surgical technique for executing an <i>en bloc</i> resection of a multilevel cervical intramedullary ependymoma: A 2D operative video
Postoperatively, the patient experienced transient proprioceptive deficits, which resolved substantially. At 4-year follow-up, she demonstrated neurological improvement, no hardware complications, and no tumor recurrence. This case underscores the utility of <i>en bloc</i> resection for achieving gross total resection of cervical intramedullary ependymomas while optimizing functional outcomes.
