Intradurale Spinal Tumors: Management and Treatment

Intradurale spinal tumors are rare neoplastic lesions that involve the spinal cord and surrounding structures and may cause neurological symptoms such as pain, motor deficits, sensory disturbances, and sphincter dysfunction. Surgical resection is often the primary treatment when feasible and may improve neurological outcomes and relieve spinal cord compression. This retrospective observational study aims to analyze the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of patients who underwent surgical treatment for intradural spinal tumors at the Neurosurgery Unit of Azienda Ospedaliera SS. Antonio e Biagio e Cesare Arrigo di Alessandria between 2022 and 2024. Clinical, radiological, and pathological data will be collected from electronic medical records, operative reports, and diagnostic imaging. The study will evaluate preoperative and postoperative neurological status using the McCormick functional scale, as well as postoperative complications and tumor recurrence. The results of this study may contribute to improving the understanding of the clinical management of intradural spinal tumors and identifying factors associated with surgical outcomes and patient prognosis.
