  2. Spinal tumor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinal_tumor

    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] These are the dura mater, arachnoid mater, and pia mater. Spinal cord tumors are classified based on their location within ...

  3. Nervous system tumor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nervous_system_tumor

    There are over 120 types of brain and spinal cord tumors. [2] In the CNS a tumor may be a malignant secondary tumor having metastasised (spread from a primary site in the body). Secondary tumors are more common in adults. [2] Treatment and prognosis depend on factors such as the type of tumor, location, and molecular characteristics. [1]

  4. Nervous system neoplasm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nervous_system_neoplasm

    Secondary CNS tumors, or metastatic tumors, occur when cancer cells spread to the brain or spinal cord from a primary tumor in another part of the body. These tumors are more common than primary CNS tumors in adults and often originate from cancers of the lung, breast, skin, kidney, or colon. [7]

  5. Central nervous system tumor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_nervous_system_tumor

    Tumors located in the lower part of the cerebrum near the primary visual cortex can cause blurred vision, double vision, or loss of vision. Tumors located in the spinal cord usually have symptoms that start with back pain that spreads towards the arms or legs. These tumors can cause trouble urinating or walking.

  6. Neuro-oncology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuro-oncology

    Mechanisms of pain include spinal cord ischemia and traction on the periosteum, dura, nearby soft tissues, and nerve roots. [6] Pain occasionally can be absent in adults and more often is absent in childhood. If other neurologic symptoms suggestive of myelopathy are present, without pain, the clinician should evaluate for spinal cord tumor. [6]

  7. Meningioma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meningioma

    Meningioma, also known as meningeal tumor, is typically a slow-growing tumor that forms from the meninges, the membranous layers surrounding the brain and spinal cord. [1] Symptoms depend on the location and occur as a result of the tumor pressing on nearby tissue. [3] [6] Many cases never produce symptoms. [2]

  8. Ganglioglioma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ganglioglioma

    However, indistinct tumor margins and the desire to preserve normal spinal cord tissue, motor and sensory function may preclude complete resection of tumor. According to a series by Lang et al., reviewing several patients with resected spinal cord ganglioglioma, the 5- and 10-year survival rates after total resection were 89% and 83% ...

  9. Ependymoma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ependymoma

    An ependymoma is a tumor that arises from the ependyma, a tissue of the central nervous system. Usually, in pediatric cases the location is intracranial, while in adults it is spinal. The common location of intracranial ependymomas is the floor of the fourth ventricle. Rarely, ependymomas can occur in the pelvic cavity.
