“…There are eight classic syndromes associated with disorders of the spinal cord and cauda equina: Brown-Se´quard; central cord; dorsal cord; segmental; ventral cord; pure motor; conus medullaris; and cauda equina syndrome. These syndromes are defined by characteristic clinical presentations and sensory, motor, and functional impairment (10). A broad range of clinical symptoms depends on location, extent, number, and activity of the lesions.…”

The development of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has led to an increasingly frequent detection of changes in the spinal cord. The most common intramedullary lesions are: demyelinating; vascular; inflammatory; infectious; and congenital, largely called tumor-like lesions. Spinal cord tumors are relatively rare, as compared with brain tumors. The hardest task is to conclude whether the spinal cord lesion is a tumor or a tumor-like lesion. This review is intended to help evaluate the spinal cord and gives an overview of the tumor-like lesions occurring in the spinal cord along with their characteristic.
