At present, surgical resection of primary intramedullary spinal cord tumors is the mainstay of
treatment. However, given the dimensional constraints of the narrow spinal canal and dense …

Study Design Systematic review and meta-analysis. Objectives In an effort to prevent
intraoperative neurological injury during spine surgery, the use of intraoperative …

Spinal cord astrocytoma is a rare and highly debilitating tumor, yet our knowledge of its
clinical characteristics, molecular features, and pathogenesis remains limited compared to …

Simple Summary Spinal cord tumors represent a significant surgical challenge.
Neurophysiological evaluation using motor evoked potentials (MEPs) and somatosensory …

Because the spinal cord contains a rich concentration of longitudinal and transversal fibers
in a very small area, intramedullary surgery could result in a high likelihood of morbidity. In …

Intradural spine tumors are relatively uncommon and include tumors outside
(extramedullary) or within the spinal cord (intramedullary). The proximity of these tumors to …

Intramedullary spinal tumors are uncommon intra-axial lesions, which can be either primary
or metastatic. Primary tumors arise from cell of spinal cord and account for 2–4% of all …

DISCUSSION: Although the commonly used neuromonitoring techniques, including motor
and sensory evoked potentials and free-run electromyograms are of utmost importance in …

Simple Summary This pilot study aimed to highlight the value of spinal cord diffusion
imaging and tractography in providing predictive factors for tumor resection in patients with …
