  1. Spinal Cord Tumors: Recognizing the Signs Early Can Save Lives Early Detection and Treatment by Dr. Jammu Kodanda Ram, Neurosurgeon Spinal cord tumors, though relatively rare, can pose serious risks to neurological function and overall well-being. These abnormal growths can develop within or around the spinal cord and may be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous). Regardless of type, they can exert pressure on the spinal cord or nearby nerves, disrupting its normal function.

  2. ? What Are Spinal Cord Tumors? Spinal cord tumors interfere with the spinal cord’s critical role in transmitting signals between the brain and the rest of the body. As these tumors grow, they may lead to symptoms such as: ● Persistent back or neck pain: Often the first symptom, this pain may worsen at night or when lying down and doesn't improve with rest or medication . ● Numbness or tingling in limbs: Altered sensations, such as tingling or numbness in extremities, can occur as the tumor presses on nerves .

  3. ● Muscle weakness or loss of coordination: Difficulty walking, maintaining balance, or performing daily activities may result from tumor-induced nerve compression . ● Loss of bladder or bowel control: In advanced cases, tumors can affect nerve function that controls bowel or bladder activities . ● Spinal deformities: In children, tumors may cause an abnormal curvature of the spine, such as scoliosis ? Diagnosing Spinal Cord Tumors Early diagnosis of spinal cord tumors is crucial for effective treatment. A thorough clinical evaluation, including a detailed history and neurological examination, is the first step. Diagnostic Imaging: ● Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI): The gold standard for spinal cord tumor diagnosis, providing detailed images of the spinal cord and surrounding structures . ● Computed Tomography (CT) Scan: Useful for visualizing bone structures and sometimes used in conjunction with MRI . ● Myelography: An X-ray of the spinal canal after injecting a contrast dye, used when MRI is not available. ?
