The goal of treatment is complete surgical resection while preserving spinal stability. Usually, these lesions occur in the thoracic region and in middle-aged women. Clinical presentation is usually nonspecific and the symptoms could precede the diagnosis by several months to years, especially in older people, in whom associated age-related diseases can mask the tumor for a long time. We report a series of 30 patients, aged 70 years or more, harboring intradural extramedullary spinal meningiomas. No subjects had major contraindications to surgery. A minimally invasive approach (hemilaminectomy and preservation of the outer dural layer) was used to remove the tumor, while preserving spinal stability and improving the watertight dural closure. We retrospectively compared the outcomes in these patients with those in a control group subjected to laminectomy or laminotomy with different dural management. In our experience, the minimally invasive approach allows the same chances of complete tumor removal, while providing a better postoperative course than in a control group.Keywords: spinal meningioma, elderly, hemilaminectomy, outer dural layer, inner dural layer, minimally invasive surgeryIacoangeli MGladi MDi Rienzo ADobran MAlvaro LNocchi NDi Somma LGColasanti RScerrati MDove Medical PressarticleSpinal meningiomaelderlyhemilaminectomyouter dural layerinner dural layerminimally invasive surgeryGeriatricsRC952-954.6ENClinical Interventions in Aging, Vol Volume 7, Pp 557-564 (2012) |
