Abstract:
The authors review their approach to the surgical management of intramedullary neoplasms. An emphasis is placed on surgical technique and judgment based primarily on the gross characteristics of the tumor. Aggressive removal, irrespective of tumor histology, is recommended for those neoplasms that are clearly demarcated from surrounding spinal cord tissue.
