Abstract:
Tenting of the arachnoid with intact trabeculae to facilitate and maintain rotation of the cord during the resection of ventrally or ventrolaterally located spinal meningiomas is proposed. The arachnoid-trabeculae tenting acts as a self-retaining retractor, and prevents overlapping of the cord onto the tumor due to gravity.
