Journal Title: Open Access Journal of Oncology and Medicine - Year 2018, Vol 1, Issue 5
Abstract
Tumors have several types that can build up in or near the spine. There are many types of spinal tumors. They can appoint the spinal cord, nerve roots or the vertebrae (bones of the spine) and pelvis. Spinal tumors have two classes. A spinal tumor can be primary, meaning it comes from cells within or near the spine. Primary tumors of the spine are uncommon. More commonly a spinal tumor that is found is a secondary spinal tumor. This means that the tumor traveled there from someplace else in the body. Tumors can be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous). Arise from the arachnid “cap” cell of arachnid villi. Meningiomas are slow growing usually present next to dura matter and the 2nd most common tumors of CNS and primary in nature. They increased intracranial pressure when it enters sometimes in the skull. The cervical part of the spinal cord contains 7 vertebras which starts from the end of skull and attach to the uppermost point of thoracic spine. The thoracic part contains 12 vertebrae and lies in the chest region .this region are different from others because here ribs attached to the vertebrae. It ends when it joins with lumbar vertebrae. The lumbar spine has 5 vertebrae and it joins with sacrum or pelivis at the edge. Vertebral body causes the formation of vertebrae by a round black of bones where the bony ring attaches to it and when these bony rings join with each other they form neural arch which is a hollow tube.
