Background:

Intradural intramedullary cervical spinal cord tumors present complex surgical challenges.
Achieving gross total resection while minimizing neurological deficit is difficult.

Purpose of the Study:

To present a case of cervical ependymoma in a pediatric patient.
To demonstrate a specific surgical resection technique for this type of tumor.

Main Methods:

Case presentation of a 12-year-old male with a cervical ependymoma.
Detailed video documentation of the surgical resection procedure.

Main Results:

Successful resection of the cervical ependymoma was performed.
The presented technique aims for maximal tumor removal with minimal morbidity.

Conclusions:

Surgical resection of cervical ependymomas is feasible with careful technique.
This case highlights an approach to managing challenging spinal cord tumors in children.
