Abstract

This chapter will focus on clinical features, characteristics and imaging features of the more common intradural extramedullary and intramedullary spinal tumors. The typical clinical presentation and symptoms for various intradural spinal tumors will be presented and their imaging pattern as seen on Computer Tomography and Magnetic Resonance Imaging will be described.
