Spinal tumors are abnormal growths (neoplasms) that develop in the vertebral column or the spinal cord. They can cause severe complications, including chronic back pain, neurological deficits, and mobility issues. Early diagnosis and advanced surgical techniques significantly improve patient outcomes.
The spine supports the body and helps to stand, sit, bend, move, and spin. The spine, which protects the spinal cord from injury, extends from the base of the skull to the lower end of the back. It is shaped like an “S”. It has 33 bones interconnected to each other.
These vertebrae are numbered and divided into four areas: cervical vertebrae (near the neck), thoracic vertebrae (upper back), lumbar vertebrae (lower back), sacrum (extreme lower back – connecting the spine to the hip), and also the tailbone coccyx of the spine. Only 24 of these bones move because the sacrum and tailbone are fused.
