Spinal cord tumours into three major groups by their location within the spine

• Extradural tumors – Grow in the membrane surrounding the spinal cord (the dura mater)

• Intradural-extramedullary – Tumors that grow outside the spinal cord but within the dura mater

• Intramedullary tumors – Intramedullary tumors grow inside the spinal cord
