Abstract

This article addresses a novel technical solution in the surgical treatment of intradural spinal cord tumors – the use of intraoperative multispiral computerized tomography (IMSCT). The IMSCT method, as compared with pre-operative magnetic resonance tomograms, provides clear determination of tumor position levels and provides for minimization of the volumes of soft tissue dissection and bone resection, thus reducing the risk of various adverse events. This intraoperative navigation method can be recommended for use in the surgical treatment of intradural spinal cord tumors (IDSCT).
