Review Description

Numerous vascular, inflammatory, degenerative and tumorous lesions of the spinal canal can cause paraplegic symptoms. In addition to the neurological examination and the leading symptoms, the first topographical classification of the (suspected) disease is essential for further diagnostics. Hence, high-resolution magnet resonance imaging (MRI) is the gold standard for the majority of questions. To avoid diagnostic and therapeutic mistakes, differentiation of intraspinal tumors from tumor-like (nonneoplastic) lesions is indispensable, which is often only possible after follow-up imaging or surgical exploration.
