Abstract

Intramedullary primary spinal cord tumors are rare, accounting for 4-10% of all central nervous system tumor [1-3]. Multi-segment involvement where the intramedullary tumor length occupying 3 or more vertebral body levels is considered as multi-segment intramedullary spinal cord tumor (MSICT) [4], and has a much lower incidence (about 1 MSICT for every 10 spinal tumors) [5,6]. Intramedullary primary spinal cord tumors occupying one and two vertebral body levels is considered as seldom segments tumors. Similar to several studies on intramedullary primary spinal cord tumors [1-5], there are also several studies on multi-segments intramedullary primary spinal cord tumors [6-8].
