Epidemiological and Surgical Outcomes of Pediatric Intradural Spinal Tumors
This study dives into one of the rarest and most complex tumor groups affecting young patients, tracing patterns of disease and the outcomes of surgical intervention across two decades. By contrasting pediatric cases with adult counterparts, it highlights striking differences that reshape both prognosis and clinical strategy. Yet, despite the careful data, an unsettling uncertainty lingers: when these tumors strike in childhood, what truly determines whether surgery leads to recovery or lasting impairment?
