Original Source: Spinal tumors - Part 2: Intradural Tumors. Epidemiology, Clinical Aspects and Therapy.
Intradural spinal tumors are classified in extra- and intramedullary tumors. The most frequent intradural-extramedullary tumors are meningiomas and neurinomas. Among the intradural-intramedullary tumors the most frequent ones are ependymomas and astrocytomas. Independent of their origin, spinal tumors usually manifest with progressive local or radicular pain and neurological deficits. The treatment of choice for most of these tumors is a complete surgical resection. In tumors with infiltrative growth into t...
