Abstract Purpose To study the demography, incidence, symptoms, histopathology, postoperative complications and recovery in operated patients of spinal tumor. Overview of Literature Primary spinal cord tumors (SCT) are an uncommon entity. According to their location, spinal tumors are conveniently classified as extradural (ED) and intradural (ID), although some can be both inside and outside the dura. ID tumors can be intradural extramedullary (IDEM) or intramedullary SCT (IMSCT). Methods This is a retrospective study of 122 patients with spinal tumors who were surgically treated at the department of neurosurgery from 2014 to 2019 over a period of 5 years. Study Design This is a retrospective study. Results Out of 122 patients, there were 19 patients with ED tumor, 73 had IDEM, and 30 had IMSCT. As many as 73 patients were males and the rest of the 49 patients were females. Mean age at time of surgery was 40.79 years. The thoracic region of spinal canal was most frequently involved (64; 52.4%). The common clinical symptom was motor weakness (90 cases; 73.77%). Majority of the patients had symptoms for duration of 6 to 12 months. Schwannomas were the most common tumor among IDEM and extradural location. Ependymomas were the most common type in IMSCT. We observed significant improvement in most of our cases. Four patients deteriorated at 3 months follow- up. Conclusions There was a higher male:female ratio for all spinal cord tumors except meningiomas. There was also a higher proportion of nerve sheath tumors, and a lower proportion of meningiomas and neuroepithelial tumors. These results are similar to other studies from Asian countries.

Object Enhancement of pathological entities in the central nervous system is a common finding when the blood–brain barrier has been compromised. In the brain, the presence or absence of gadolinium enhancement is often an indicator of tumor invasiveness and/or grade. In the spinal cord, however, contrast enhancement has been shown in all tumor types, regardless of grade. In this study the authors explore the incidence of nonenhancing tumors of the spinal cord and the clinical course of patients with these lesions. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted in which investigators examined the patterns of enhancement of histologically proven intramedullary spinal cord tumors that had been evaluated at the Mayo Clinic between 1998 and 2002. The tumors that did not enhance were the subject of this report. Results A total of 130 patients with intramedullary tumors were evaluated. Of those, 11 patients (9%) had tumors that did not enhance. Histologically, a majority of tumors were astrocytomas (eight low-grade and two high-grade lesions); one tumor was a subependymoma. Morphologically, most of the tumors were diffuse and none had associated cysts. Tumors spanned from two to seven levels and were located throughout the spinal cord (four cervical, three cervicothoracic, one thoracic, and three thoracolumbar). Biopsy procedures were performed in eight patients, subtotal resection was performed in two, and gross-total resection in one. After a mean follow-up period of 19 months, tumors remained stable in eight patients but progressed in three, two of whom died. Conclusions A number of intramedullary spinal cord tumors will not enhance after addition of contrast agents. The absence of enhancement does not imply the absence of tumor.
