Galzio"],"abstract":"Background: Extradural spinal mass lesions are most commonly metastatic tumors. Extradural meningiomas are rare, accounting for approximately 2.5–3.5% of spinal meningiomas; intraoperatively, they are easily mistaken for malignant tumors, especially in the en plaque variety, resulting in inadequate surgical treatment. Case Description: Our case is one of the first to describe a patient with two purely extradural meningiomas, one each between D3–D4 and between D5–D6 vertebral levels. Surgical resection was radical, and pathologically both lesions were meningothelialmeningiomas. Conclusions: Reviewing the literature, we discuss the pathogenesis, treatment strategies, and long-term behavior of these uncommon lesions.","thumbnailUrl":"https://sni-digital-videos.s3.amazonaws.com/articles/6d415ebc-a195-49b9-9aa8-f300a811fb91/featured/hero-1782420923340.png","publishDate":"2016-08-23T00:00:00.000Z","doi":"10.4103/2152-7806.188914","categories":["Case Report"],"fullTextUrl":"http://surgicalneurologyint.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/7946/SNI-7-76.pdf"}
