title: Diagnosis of intradural conus and cauda equina tumours.
abstract: Tumours in the conus medullaris, the cauda equina and filum terminale are rare, and present a varied clinical picture. There is often a delay between onset of symptoms and diagnosis. However, in most cases, a detailed history and clinical examination will indicate further investigation.
