Schmidt, Meic H. | Surgical technique and results of endoscopic anterior spinal canal decompression | Object. Decompression of the spinal canal in the management of thoracolumbar trauma is controversial, but many authors have advocated decompression in patients with severe canal compromise and neurological deficits. Anterior decompression, corpectomy, and fusion have been shown to be more reliable f... | Anterior approach; Anterior decompression; Spinal trauma; Endoscopy | 2005 |

Schmidt, Meic H. | Minimally invasive thoracoscopic approach for anterior decompression and stabilization of metastatic spine disease | Object. The choices available in the management of metastatic spine disease are complex, and the role of surgical therapy is increasing.

Schmidt, Meic H. | Thoracoscopic spine surgery for decompression and stabilization of the anterolateral thoracolumbar spine | The anterior thoracolumbar spine can be exposed via a variety of approaches. Historically, open anterolateral or posterolateral approaches have been used to gain access to the anterior thoracolumbar spinal column. Although the exposure is excellent, open approaches are associated with significant pa... | Endoscopic spinal surgery; Thoracic spine; Lumbar spine; Thoracoscopic spinal instrumentation | 2005 |

Kestle, John R. W.; Walker, Marion L. | Noncommunicating spinal extradural arachnoid cyst causing spinal cord compression in a child | Extradural arachnoid cysts in the spine are relatively uncommon causes of spinal cord compression in the pediatric population that are thought to arise from congenital defects in the dura mater. Most reports describe such cysts communicating with the intrathecal subarachnoid space through a small de... | 2006 | |

Chamberlin, Ralph Vary | Agelenid spiders of the Genus Cicurina | The genus Cicurina was erected by Menge in 18(59 for the species jlranea cicurea Fabricius (1793). Since then, various species from North America have been added to this genus. Petrunkevitch, in his catalog of 1911, listed 11 species from this continent. Exline, in a review of the Cicurinas in 1936,... | 1940-06-29 | |

Schmidt, Meic H. | Spinal extradural arachnoid cysts: clinical, radiological, and surgical features | Extradural arachnoid cysts in the spine are rare and are seldom a cause of spinal cord compression. They are thought to arise from congenital defects in the dura mater, and they almost always communicate with the intrathecal subarachnoid space through a small defect in the dura. The mainstay of trea... | Spinal extradural arachnoid cyst; Spinal meningeal cyst; Neurogenic claudication | 2007 |
