title: Cervical spine tumors.
abstract: Magnetic resonance imaging is the central imaging modality for cervical spine neoplasms. The majority of extradural lesions are metastatic. Nerve sheath tumors are the most common intradural neoplasm, followed by meningioma. Intramedullary tumors are less common. This article reviews tumors according to this classification, with emphasis on clinical considerations and imaging techniques and findings.
