Tumors of the spine encompass a heterogeneous group of lesions that can be divided into
three main subgroups: extradural, intradural extramedullary, and intradural intramedullary …

Among spinal tumors that occur intradurally, meningiomas, nerve sheath tumors,
ependymomas, and astrocytomas are the most common. While a spinal MRI is the state of …

Understanding the significance of the histologic type and grade is critical in the diagnosis
and treatment of spinal cord tumors. Spinal tumors can be divided into three major groups …

Intradural spinal tumors are a rare but critically important subset of tumors affecting the
central nervous system. Most of these tumors are benign or of low biologic grade. Surgical …

Background: Intradural extramedullary spinal cord tumors (IESCT) account for approximately
two-thirds of largely benign intraspinal neoplasms. They occasionally present with acute …

Intradural extramedullary spinal cord tumors represent approximately 10% of all primary
central nervous system tumors and 60% of primary spinal cord tumors. 1 By definition, these …

Benignspinal intradural tumors are relatively rare and include intramedullary tumors with a
favorable histology such as low-grade astrocytomasand ependymomas, as well as …

Primary spinal cord tumors constitute 2% to 4% of all central nervous system neoplasms and
are characterized based on their location as intramedullary, intradural extramedullary, and …

Background Data: Intradural extramedullary tumors are mostly benign lesions that often
present late due to their slow rate of growth. Recent advances in the field of neuro-imaging …
