The relevance of the artery of Adamkiewicz for microsurgical resection of spinal tumors- short overview and case series: technical note.

CONCLUSION: For spinal tumor where the AKA is exactly on the same level and side, an intracapsular decompression can be safely performed, with an immediate decrease of the symptomatic mass effect, while decreasing the risk of neurological injury. A second valuable alternative in such situations can also be radiosurgery, for small to medium size tumors. In our experience, this proved safe and effective both for tumor and eventual pain control.
