“…To date, several surgical techniques have been introduced. Currently, complete resection of the cyst, and microsurgical repair of the dural defect is preferred as the treatment of choice for SEACs [1][2][3][4]. In our patient, this treatment method was applied, and significant clinical improvement was achieved without any complications.…”

“…SEACs are generally observed in young men in the second decade of their life, and the clinical presentation depends on the location of the cyst within the spinal canal. SEACs are usually in mid thoracic region to the thoracolumbar junction, and only 3% of all SEACs are observed in the cervical spine [1,2]. We report a rare case of an SEAC located in the cervicothoracic junction, causing neurologic compression.…”

Introduction Spinal extradural arachnoid cysts (SEACs) are rare expansive lesions that account for~1% of all spinal tumors. They develop as the result of arachnoid membrane herniation through a small dural defect and are mostly reported to be located at lower thoracic region and thoracolumbar junction. Case presentation We report a rare case of SEAC located in the cervicothoracic junction causing neurologic compression. Discussion Only 3% of all SEACs are observed in the cervical spine. They are the most common in young men and present with compressive symptoms. SEACs have potential to enlarge. As they are surgically removable lesions, early and definite diagnosis is important in preventing clinical deterioration. MRI is recommended for the diagnosis and preoperative planning.

scite is an incredibly clever tool. The feature that classifies papers on whether they find supporting or contrasting evidence for a particular publication saves so much time. It has become indispensable to me when writing papers and finding related work to cite and read.

As a PhD student, I'm so glad that this exists for my literature searches and papers. Being able to assess what is disputed or affirmed in the literature is how the scientific process is supposed to work, and scite helps me do this more efficiently.

scite is such an awesome tool! It’s never been easier to place a scientific paper in the context of the wider literature.

This is a really cool tool. I just tried it out on a paper we wrote on flu/pneumococcal seasonality... really interesting to see the results were affirmed by other studies. I had no idea.
