Spinal Tumors

Spinal Tumors

Spinal tumors are abnormal growths that develop within or around the spine. They can be benign or cancerous and may arise from the vertebrae, spinal cord, nerves, or surrounding tissues. Even small tumors can cause significant symptoms because they press on nerves or affect spinal stability, making early diagnosis essential.

Symptoms of Spinal Tumors

Common symptoms include persistent back pain that doesn’t improve with rest, numbness, tingling, or weakness in the arms or legs. Some patients experience difficulty walking, balance issues, or bladder and bowel changes. Unexplained weight loss or night pain may also occur in certain cases.

Types of Spinal Tumors

Spinal tumors may be classified as vertebral (bone-based), intradural (inside the spinal covering), or intramedullary (within the spinal cord). They can be primary, starting within the spine, or secondary, spreading from another part of the body. Each type behaves differently and requires a tailored treatment plan.

Treatment and Process

Treatment starts with advanced imaging to identify the tumor’s size, location, and impact on nerves or bone. Management may include medications, targeted therapy, or surgery. When surgery is required, the goal is to safely remove or reduce the tumor while protecting neurological function. Stabilization procedures may also be performed if the tumor weakens the spine. Early care helps relieve pressure on nerves, reduce pain, and preserve mobility.
