What you will cover in this lecture
Surgery is the gold standard treatment for intradural extramedullary tumours. The results of surgery for these tumours are usually excellent, however in patients with multiple tumours the surgery is not a curative but a palliative option. Giant tumours are usually a considerable surgical challenge and should be approached in a multidisciplinary team.
Learning Objectives
- To obtain knowledge regarding the epidemiology of intradural extramedullary tumours
