Abstract
The present study is the first to demonstrate that surgical decompression is associated with a statistically significant improvement in patient-rated outcome scores in patients with symptomatic SEL, with a clinically relevant change occurring in approximately half of them. Surgical decompression hence represents a reasonable treatment option for SEL, although the reason behind the less good response in some patients needs further investigation.
