    This study analyzed 400 spinal cord tumor cases, finding incomplete transverse lesions in most patients. Post-surgery outcomes varied, with meningiomas and neurinomas showing the best improvement rates.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurosurgery
    • Neurology
    • Oncology

    Context:

    • Spinal cord tumors represent a significant clinical challenge, often leading to severe neurological deficits.
    • Accurate diagnosis and effective surgical intervention are crucial for patient outcomes.
    • Understanding tumor characteristics, patient demographics, and treatment responses informs clinical practice.

    Purpose:

    • To analyze the clinical characteristics, surgical outcomes, and diagnostic accuracy of spinal cord tumors.
    • To evaluate the efficacy of diagnostic modalities including X-ray, myelography, and myeloscintigraphy.
    • To assess postoperative complications and mortality rates in spinal cord tumor patients.

    Summary:

    • Analysis of 400 spinal cord tumor cases revealed incomplete transverse lesions (61.7%) and complete paralysis (14.3%) as common presentations.

  • Meningiomas and neurinomas constituted 60% of tumors, with average patient age 43.8 years; gliomas occurred earlier (around 25 years).
  • Postoperative outcomes showed 5% free of complaints, 39% improved, 10% worsened, and 46% unchanged within four weeks; diagnostic accuracy varied, with myelography and myeloscintigraphy showing high positive findings (97-98%).

    • Impact:

    • Highlights the high incidence of neurological deficits associated with spinal cord tumors.
    • Demonstrates the effectiveness of advanced imaging techniques in diagnosing spinal cord tumors.
    • Provides insights into surgical outcomes and complication rates, guiding future treatment strategies and patient management.
