What Is A Spinal Cord Tumor?

A spinal cord tumor is defined as any abnormal growth of cells within and around the spine that appears either benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous). They may affect any portion of the spinal cord including nerve roots or vertebrae and cause neurological symptoms or pain – leaving untreated, permanent injury could ensue.

Types of Spinal Cord Tumors

  • Intramedullary Tumors : These tumors originate within the spinal cord itself, such as astrocytomas and ependymomas. They can disrupt normal spinal cord functions.
  • Extramedullary Tumors : Tumors that grow in the tissues surrounding the spinal cord, like meningiomas and schwannomas. These can compress the spinal cord or nerve roots.
  • Primary Spinal Tumors : These originate in the spine or spinal cord and can be benign or malignant.
  • Metastatic Spinal Tumors : These are secondary tumors that spread to the spine from cancer elsewhere in the body.

Symptoms of Spinal Cord Tumors

Symptoms of spinal cord tumors vary based on their size, type, and location. Common symptoms include back pain, which may spread to other parts of the body, numbness or tingling in the arms or legs, weakness or loss of coordination, difficulty walking, and changes in bladder or bowel function. If you experience any of these symptoms, it’s important to seek medical advice promptly.

Diagnosis of Spinal Cord Tumor Surgery

Diagnosing a spinal cord tumor typically involves a thorough neurological examination to evaluate symptoms. Imaging tests, such as MRI and CT scans, provide detailed views of the spine to locate and assess the tumor. In some cases, a biopsy may be performed to analyze tumor tissue and confirm the diagnosis. Blood tests may also be conducted to check for specific markers or underlying health conditions.

Treatment of Spinal Cord Tumor Surgery

The primary treatment for spinal cord tumors is surgical removal. This procedure aims to excise as much of the tumor as possible while preserving spinal cord function. Additional treatments may include radiation therapy to target any remaining tumor cells, chemotherapy for malignant tumors, and targeted therapy based on the tumor’s specific characteristics. Our multidisciplinary approach ensures that each patient receives the most effective and comprehensive care.

Care and Recovery After Surgery

Post-surgery care is crucial for a successful recovery. Patients are closely monitored in the ICU or recovery room immediately after surgery. Rehabilitation, including physical therapy and occupational therapy, plays a key role in regaining strength, mobility, and function. Follow-up appointments are essential to monitor healing and detect any recurrence of the tumor. Psychological support is also provided to help patients and their families cope with the emotional aspects of recovery.
