Tumors of the spine in children

Andrea Rossi et al. Neuroimaging Clin N Am. 2007 Feb.

Abstract

In children, tumors of the spine are much rarer than intracranial tumors. They are classified into intramedullary, intradural-extramedullary, and extradural tumors. Magnetic resonance imaging provides crucial information regarding the extent, location, and internal structure of the mass, thus critically narrowing the differential diagnosis and guiding surgery.
