Article: Long-level Intramedullary Spinal Cord Tumor: A Case Series
Abstract
Spinal cord tumors, though uncommon, pose significant challenges due to their potential for neurological disability and mortality. Intramedullary spinal cord tumors, particularly Long-level intramedullary spinal cord tumors, present challenging clinical scenarios. Contrast-enhanced Magnetic resonance imaging remains pivotal for radiological evaluation and surgical planning. Notably, aggressive resection is advocated to enhance prognosis, with meticulous attention to preserving neurological function. Advancements in spinal surgery techniques, coupled with intraoperative monitoring, offer promising avenues for improved patient outcomes. We presented three cases of long-level intramedullary tumors, emphasizing the significance of tailored management and presented details, including clinical presentations, radiological findings, and histopathological results.
