Intradural-Extramedullary Tumors

Intradural extramedullary spinal tumors grow within the spinal cord under the membrane that covers the spinal cord but outside of the nerves. These includes Meningiomas, Neurofibromas and Schwannomas.

Intramedullary Tumors

Intramedullary spinal tumors grow from supporting cells (glia) within the substance of the spinal cord itself. These tumors occur most often in the cervical spine (neck). They tend to be benign, but surgery to remove the tumor may be difficult. Astrocytomas and ependymomas are two most common types of intramedullary tumors.
