Spinal Tumor
A spinal tumor is an abnormal growth of tissue in the spinal cord, its coverings, or the vertebrae; it can be benign or malignant and, depending on its location, may compress nerve structures.
Which specialists evaluate it? The neurosurgeon handles the treatment of lesions that affect the spine and spinal cord, while the neurologist takes part in evaluating the nerve-related symptoms.
Possible manifestations: back pain that does not let up, weakness or tingling in the arms or legs, and changes in sensation or control.
When to seek care? Persistent back pain accompanied by neurological symptoms deserves an evaluation. Seeing a specialist in time makes it possible to study the cause properly.
