title: [Intramedullary tumors].
abstract: Intramedullary tumors are relatively rare entities which can, however, cause significant morbidity. The patient's age and clinical symptoms play an important role in the differential diagnosis. The most important imaging method is contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). This article focusses on intramedullary tumors, of which the most commonly found are ependymomas and astrocytomas.
