Abstract

Background: Spinal cord tumors represent 10% to 15% of central nervous system (CNS) neoplasms. In adults, two thirds of these tumors are extra medullary and the remaining third are intramedullary.
Objective: To outline the final outcome of cervical cord tumor surgeries.
Patients and Methods: This was a study over a period of two years from January 2018 to January 2020 at Al-AzharUniversityHospital and EldoahHospital of 30 patients with cervical cord tumors with primary or secondary origin subjected to surgery and follow up of patients, the neurological status before surgery and immediate post-operative examination were assessed.
Results: Surgical morbidities were significant more frequent in unimproved patients. There was a significant correlation between the pre-operative state and the final functional outcome.  The better the preoperative state the better was the outcome.
Conclusion: The cervical cord tumors can be treated safely and effectively by surgery. Total resection was the essential aim before surgery. Preoperative neurological state, pathological type, pathological grades, and degree of resection were the most important factors that affect the final outcome.
