    Demyelinating or necrotizing myelopathy can mimic spinal cord tumors. Further observation and tests for disseminated disease are crucial before initiating radiotherapy for suspected cord neoplasms.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Spinal Cord Diseases
    • Neuro-oncology

    Background:

    • Demyelinating and necrotizing myelopathies can present with symptoms mimicking intramedullary spinal cord neoplasms.
    • Accurate diagnosis is critical for appropriate treatment and patient outcomes.

    Observation:

    • Three cases are presented where gradual onset, slow progression, and widened cord shadow on myelography led to misdiagnosis of spinal cord tumors.
    • Two cases underwent inconclusive surgical explorations, highlighting diagnostic challenges.

    Findings:

    • The clinical and myelographic findings in these cases mimicked intrinsic cord neoplasms.
    • Misdiagnosis can lead to delayed or inappropriate treatment, such as radiotherapy.

    Implications:

    • Patients with suspected intrinsic cord neoplasms warrant further observation and investigation for disseminated disease.
    • Consideration of inflammatory or demyelinating conditions is essential in the differential diagnosis of spinal cord lesions.
