Abstract

Spinal cord tumors are uncommon, and its multiple representatives not always have pathognomonic characteristics, which poses a challenge for both patients and caring physicians. The radiologist performs an important role in recognizing these tumors, as well as in differentiating between neoplastic and non-neoplastic processes, supporting clinical and surgical decision-making in patients with spinal cord injury. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) assessment, paired with a deep understanding of the various patterns of cord involvement allied to detailed clinical data can provide a diagnosis or significantly limit the differential diagnosis in most cases. In this article, we aim to review the most common and noteworthy intramedullary and extramedullary spinal tumors, as well as some other tumoral mimics, with an emphasis on their MRI morphologic characteristics.

MRI在脊髓肿瘤诊断中的作用

脊髓肿瘤并不常见，其多个代表并不总是具有病理特征，这对患者和护理医生来说都是一个挑战。放射科医生在识别这些肿瘤、区分肿瘤和非肿瘤过程、支持脊髓损伤患者的临床和手术决策方面发挥着重要作用。在大多数情况下，磁共振成像（MRI）评估，再加上对脊髓受累的各种模式的深入了解和详细的临床数据，可以提供诊断或显著限制鉴别诊断。在这篇文章中，我们的目的是回顾最常见和值得注意的髓内和髓外脊柱肿瘤，以及其他一些肿瘤模拟物，重点介绍它们的MRI形态学特征。
