Brain and spinal tumours and traumas

Any sites not directly related to the UK will have the country concerned or covered within the site description. The symptoms of spinal tumours are due to spinal nerve compression and weakening of the vertebral structure. Incontinence and decreased sensitivity in the saddle area (buttocks) are generally considered warning signs of spinal cord compression by the tumor. Back pain in a patient with known malignancy may prompt a bone scan to confirm or exclude spinal metastasis. Find diagnosis and treatment details listed in sites here.
