This study analyzed 231 adult cauda equina tumors, finding schwannomas most common. Complete surgical removal is key for good outcomes, as adjuvant therapies show limited efficacy.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Oncology
  • Spinal Cord Pathology

Background:

  • Large series of adult cauda equina tumors are rarely reported.
  • This study presents findings from 231 cases collected by French neurosurgery units.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the types and outcomes of adult cauda equina tumors.
  • To evaluate the prognostic factors and treatment efficacy for these tumors.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 231 adult cauda equina tumor cases.
  • Data collected from French neurosurgery units.

Main Results:

  • Schwannomas were the most frequent benign tumor, followed by ependymomas.
  • Malignant tumors were rare, primarily malignant neurinomas in neurofibromatosis patients.

  • Pre-therapeutic neurological status significantly impacts functional prognosis.
  • Schwannomas showed complete cure rates; ependymomas and paragangliomas had potential for late recurrence.
  • Hemangioblastomas had a good prognosis; abnormal sphincter function indicated a poor prognosis.

    • Conclusions:

    • Complete surgical resection is crucial for cauda equina tumors due to limited adjuvant therapy efficacy.
    • Long-term follow-up is essential for managing these tumors.
    • Pre-operative neurological status and early intervention are vital for favorable outcomes.
