What is a Spinal Tumor?
A spinal tumor is an abnormal growth of tissue within or around the spinal cord or spine. These tumors may be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous) and can compress the spinal cord or nerves, leading to pain, weakness, numbness, or difficulty walking.
Symptoms of Spinal Tumors:
- Persistent back or neck pain
- Tingling or numbness in arms or legs
- Muscle weakness
- Difficulty walking or maintaining balance
- Loss of bladder or bowel control (in severe cases)
Types of Spinal Tumors Treated:
- Intramedullary tumors (within the spinal cord)
- Extramedullary tumors (outside the spinal cord but within the spinal column)
- Vertebral tumors (affecting the bones of the spine)
- Metastatic spinal tumors (cancer spread from other parts of the body)
