It runs from the foramen magnum of the skull to the conus medullaris at the lumbar spine. [1] Most symptoms from spinal tumors occur due to compression of the spinal cord as it plays a primary role in motor and sensory function. [13] The spinal cord is surrounded by three layers known as the spinal meninges. [13]
