Abstract:
Extramedullary spinal cord tumors at the level of craniovertebral junction are a rare group of neoplasms with their own characteristics. Taking into account the peculiarities of clinical course and complex anatomy of craniovertebral complex, these tumors present a complex diagnostic and surgical problem. A systematic review of literature data on epidemiology, clinical picture, diagnostic methods and dorsal minimally invasive methods of surgical treatment of patients with extramedullary spinal cord tumors of craniovertebral junction was performed.

Cranial Bones: Superior and Posterior View
The frontal bone is the single bone that forms the forehead. At its anterior midline, between the eyebrows, there is a slight depression called the glabella. The frontal bone also forms the supraorbital margin of the orbit. Near the middle of this margin is the supraorbital foramen, the opening that provides passage for a sensory nerve to the forehead. The frontal bone is thickened just above each supraorbital margin,...
