Due to critical structures surrounding them, their excision is challenging. There are sparse reports of anterior retropharyngeal approach (ARPA) for high-cervical transverse process mass and none for endoscopic ARPA approach.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Objective:<\/jats:title>\n A step-by-step technical report with its video is presented.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Surgical Technique:<\/jats:title>\n \n A 14-year-old girl presented with chronic right-sided neck pain. The computed tomography scan revealed a 6.5 cm\n 3<\/jats:sup>\n mass in the right transverse process extending into the lateral mass of the C2 vertebra. The mass was anterior and in direct contact with the vertebral artery. She underwent a minimally invasive endoscopic ARPA.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results:<\/jats:title>\n The mass could be excised along with its cartilaginous cap without any complications. The patient's symptoms resolved completely. The biopsy came out as osteochondroma.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n Endoscopic ARPA is a minimally invasive option for high-cervical tumors and was found safe and effective for C2 transverse process osteochondroma.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.4103\/0028-3886.319213","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,12,28]],"date-time":"2021-12-28T02:21:28Z","timestamp":1640658088000},"page":"582-586","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Endoscopic-Assisted C2 Transverse Process Mass Excision"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"69","author":[{"given":"Jitin","family":"Bajaj","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shailendra","family":"Ratre","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yad Ram","family":"Yadav","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","reference":[{"key":"R1-8-20240907","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"247","DOI":"10.3171\/jns.1992.77.2.0247","article-title":"On spinal osteochondromas","volume":"77","author":"Albrecht","year":"1992","journal-title":"J Neurosurg"},{"key":"R2-8-20240907","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"774","DOI":"10.1097\/01.brs.0000157476.16579.a2","article-title":"Spinal exostoses: Analysis of twelve cases and review of the literature","volume":"30","author":"Bess","year":"2005","journal-title":"Spine"},{"key":"R3-8-20240907","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"215","DOI":"10.1016\/j.wneu.2021.01.148","article-title":"Diagnosis, management, and treatment options: A cervical spine osteochondroma meta-analysis","volume":"149","author":"Fowler","year":"2021","journal-title":"World Neurosurg"},{"key":"R4-8-20240907","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"341","DOI":"10.4103\/neuroindia.NI_1276_16","article-title":"Endoscopic technique for single-stage anterior decompression and anterior fusion by transcervical approach in atlantoaxial dislocation","volume":"65","author":"Yadav","year":"2017","journal-title":"Neurol India"},{"key":"R5-8-20240907","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"510","DOI":"10.4103\/0028-3886.257989","article-title":"Endoscopic single stage trans-oral decompression and anterior C1 lateral mass and C2 pedicle stabilization for atlanto-axial dislocation","volume":"67","author":"Yadav","year":"2019","journal-title":"Neurol India"},{"key":"R6-8-20240907","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"450","DOI":"10.1016\/j.wneu.2019.07.143","article-title":"Osteochondroma arising from the transverse process of the lower cervical spine in an elderly patient","volume":"130","author":"Chang","year":"2019","journal-title":"World Neurosurg"},{"key":"R7-8-20240907","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2752","DOI":"10.1007\/s00586-020-06521-5","article-title":"Simplified four-step retropharyngeal approach for the upper cervical spine: Technical note","volume":"29","author":"De Bonis","year":"2020","journal-title":"Eur Spine J"},{"key":"R9-8-20240907","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"265","DOI":"10.1016\/j.otot.2014.04.008","article-title":"Transcervical endoscopic approach for removal of parapharyngeal space masses","volume":"25","author":"Snyderman","year":"2014","journal-title":"Oper Tech Otolaryngol-Head Neck Surg"}],"container-title":["Neurology India"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.ovid.com\/10.4103\/0028-3886.319213","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,26]],"date-time":"2026-08-26T14:52:37Z","timestamp":1787755957000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.ovid.com\/10.4103\/0028-3886.319213"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2021,5]]},"references-count":8,"journal-issue":{"issue":"3","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2021]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.4103\/0028-3886.319213","relation":{},"ISSN":["0028-3886"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0028-3886","type":"print"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2021,5]]}}}
