A spinal tumor is a growth that appears either inside the spinal column's bones or in the spinal canal. A spinal tumor that starts inside the spinal cord or the dura that covers the spinal cord is known as a spinal cord tumor, also known as an intradural tumor. Vertebral tumors are tumors that affect the vertebrae, the spine's bony structure. Depending on where they are in relation to the spinal cord's protective membranes, there are three basic types of spinal cord tumors. The primary forms of intradural tumors are as follows: Intramedullary cancers, such as gliomas, astrocytomas, or ependymomas, start in the spinal cord's own cells. Extramedullary cancers can develop in the spinal cord's protective membrane or in the nerve roots that protrude from it. Even though they do not start in the spinal cord, these tumors have the potential to impair spinal cord function by pressing on it and causing other issues. Meningiomas, neurofibromas, schwannomas, and tumors of the nerve sheath are a few examples of extramedullary tumors that can harm the spinal cord.
