INTRADURAL SPINAL CORD TUMOR
Intradural spinal cord tumors are categorized according to their location within the spinal cord parenchyma. Intramedullary spinal cord tumors (IMSCTs) are found within the spinal cord, whereas extramedullary spinal cord tumors (EMSCTs) are located outside the spinal cord in the subarachnoid space.

TREATMENT OF INTRADURAL SPINAL CORD TUMOR
Intradural spinal tumors are extremely rare central nervous system tumors. However, surgical resection without provoking neurological deficits is complicated because of the spinal cord and its sections, the compact structure of the cord and nerves, and the infiltrative nature of these tumors. Similarly, chemotherapy and radiotherapy are used for the treatment of intradural spinal tumors. Therefore, therapeutic approaches directed at the genetic alterations and molecular biology specific to these tumors would be beneficial.
