AbstractMost intradural tumors are located within the intradural extramedullary compartment, and the most common tumors are schwannomas and meningiomas. Other less common neoplasms include neurofibroma, solitary fibrous tumor, myxopapillary ependymoma, lymphoma, metastatic leptomeningeal disease, malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor, and paraganglioma. Patients usually present with gait ataxia, radicular pain, and motor and sensory deficits due to chronic compressive myelopathy or radiculopathy. MRI is the modality of choice for detecting and evaluating intradural extramedullary spinal tumors. This imaging technique helps narrow the differential diagnosis and therefore decide treatment.Copyright © 2023 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
