Technical nuances of a posterior transdural approach for resection of a compressive retro-odontoid cyst with 2D operative video and graphical illustration: illustrative case

A paucity of literature exists regarding the management of symptomatic retro-odontoid cysts. This report demonstrates key steps of a transdural approach for the resection of a large retro-odontoid cyst with strong adherence to the ventral dura, accompanied by an intraoperative video and graphical illustrations. https://thejns.org/doi/10.3171/CASE25757.

Abstract

This report demonstrates key steps of a transdural approach for the resection of a large retro-odontoid cyst with strong adherence to the ventral dura, accompanied by an intraoperative video and graphical illustrations. https://thejns.org/doi/10.3171/CASE25757.
