Abstract
Background and importance: Ossified spinal meningiomas are a rare form of spinal tumor. The removal in narrow surgical space is challenging because of their hard consistency and strong adhesion to the neural tissue. These meningiomas are often located in the upper thoracic spine, and sometimes, even the identification of the correct intraoperative level is difficult.
Clinical presentation: We describe the clinical findings, surgical strategies, and histological findings of a patient with a thoracic ossified meningioma.
Discussion: We discuss the technical points, safety, and efficacy of the piezosurgery device in reducing the calcified mass.
Conclusion: The device has the potential to reduce the operating time and enhance surgical safety when removing ossified meningiomas.
