What Are Spinal Tumors? Types and Classifications | Dr Venkata RamaKrishna T | Arete Hospitals

In this video, we explain everything you need to know about spine tumors—what they are, where they occur, and how they are classified. The spine is divided into different regions: neck (cervical), upper back (thoracic), lower back (lumbar), and sacrum (tailbone). Spine tumors can develop in various areas around the spinal cord:

What Are Spinal Tumors? Types and Classifications

Intramedullary tumors – located inside the spinal cord
Intradural-extramedullary tumors – found between the spinal cord and the protective covering (dura)
Extradural tumors – located outside the dura, often involving the bones of the spine
We also discuss the difference between benign (non-cancerous) and malignant (cancerous) tumors, and how malignant spine tumors can spread rapidly and pose serious health risks.
