Pediatric Spinal Cord Tumors
What is Pediatric Spinal Cord Tumors?
Pediatric Spinal Cord Tumors are abnormal growths that develop within or around the spinal cord in children. These tumors may be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous) and can affect nerve function, movement, and overall development.
Since the spinal cord controls vital body functions, early diagnosis and expert treatment are crucial.
Symptoms may develop slowly and worsen over time
