TBAS Spine Tumor Surgery

The abnormal growth of cells in any part of our body is termed a tumor and it can be benign or malignant. The spinal cord is a long, thin, cylindrical bundle of nerve fibers, associated tissues, and support cells that connects nearly all parts of the body to the brain. Abnormal growth of cells in the spinal cord is termed as spinal cord tumor and there are two main types of tumors that can affect the spinal cord:

  • Intramedullary tumors
  • Extramedullary tumors
Primary & Secondary Spinal Cord Tumor

These are primary spinal cord tumors. This means that these tumors originate within the spinal cord. Other than this, tumors from other parts of the body like lung, prostrate, etc. can also spread (metastasize) to the spinal cord itself. They are called secondary spinal cord tumors.
Whether benign or malignant or primary or secondary, a spinal cord tumor can be life-threatening and cause permanent disability
