What is a Spinal Cord Tumor?

A spinal cord tumor is an abnormal mass of cells growing within or near the spinal cord. These tumors can be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous) and may affect spinal function, leading to neurological complications. Based on their location, spinal cord tumors are classified as:

• Intramedullary Tumors: Develop inside the spinal cord (e.g., astrocytomas, ependymomas).
• Extramedullary Tumors: Grow outside the spinal cord but within the spinal column (e.g., meningiomas, schwannomas).
• Metastatic Tumors: Spread from other parts of the body, commonly from the lungs, breasts, or prostate.

Early detection and appropriate intervention are crucial for managing symptoms and preventing long-term complications.

Recognizing the Symptoms of Spinal Cord Tumors

The symptoms of spinal cord tumors depend on their size, location, and growth rate. Common signs include:

• Persistent back pain that worsens at night or with movement
• Weakness or numbness in the arms or legs
• Difficulty walking or maintaining balance
• Loss of bladder or bowel control
• Muscle spasms or cramps
• Tingling or burning sensations in the affected area

If you experience these symptoms, seeking an early diagnosis at a trusted oncology and neurology center in Bangalore is essential.
