Fig. 3

A: The intradural-like mass (the intraspinal component) is pushed out from the subdural space via the incision along the dural theca. The black arrow shows the direction of the push. B: The intraspinal component of the tumor was being removed through the incision along the nerve root. C, D: After the epidural removal of the intraspinal components, postresection inspection was performed via the dural incision along the dural theca to determine if there was a residual invaginated tumor. The dura (black arrow) covers on the intraspinal portion of the tumor is well preserved
