CLINICAL CASE OF REMOVAL OF INTRADURAL SPINAL TUMOR

Abstract

According to the statistical data of pathological examination, the frequency of detection
of spinal cord tumors is 10-15% of all tumors of the central nervous system (CNS) [1,2,3]. Most
often, spinal cord tumors (SCT) are observed in the socially active group of people aged 30-50
years, which determines the great relevance of this problem [2,4,5]. Tumors of the cervical spinal
cord account for 19.0-36.5%, thoracic - 26.9-47.0%, lumbosacral - 23.0-33.3%, equine tail and
terminal thread - 11%. The most common are extramedullary tumors 53-90% of all spinal cord
tumors, the frequency of intradural intramedullary tumors is 10-30%. With the introduction of
modern neuroimaging methods of research (magnetic resonance imaging, multispiral computed
tomography) into neurosurgical practice, the diagnosis of spinal cord tumors has improved
significantly. However, the problem of timely detection of spinal cord tumors remains relevant
everywhere, which determines the results of surgical interventions [3,4,5].
