    Cervical intradural tumors account for 2-4% of primary CNS tumors and can cause significant neurological symptoms.

  • 2

    Surgical resection is the primary treatment for cervical intradural tumors, often leading to reduced extensor muscle force.

  • 3

    Postoperative kyphosis is common after intradural tumor surgery and can impair functional outcomes, necessitating potential stabilization.

  • 4

    The study included 84 patients who underwent cervical laminectomy or laminoplasty for intradural tumor resection between 2005 and 2017.

    Predictors of long-term kyphosis and the need for delayed posterior fixation following surgery are poorly defined and warrant further investigation.
