Understanding Spine Tumors
A spine tumor is an abnormal growth that develops within the spinal canal, spinal cord, spinal nerves, or vertebral bones. Depending on its size and location, a tumor can place pressure on nearby nerves and spinal structures, leading to a variety of neurological symptoms.
Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment are important to prevent complications and protect spinal cord function.
Common Types of Spine Tumors
Intramedullary Tumors
Tumors that develop within the spinal cord and may affect nerve signal transmission.
Extramedullary Tumors
Tumors that grow around the spinal cord but outside the cord tissue itself.
Vertebral Tumors
Tumors affecting the bones of the spine and surrounding structures.
Metastatic Spine Tumors
Tumors that spread to the spine from cancers originating elsewhere in the body.
Know the Signs That Need Evaluation
Symptoms of spinal tumors vary depending on their size, location, and effect on surrounding nerves and tissues.
