Brain & Spine Centre provides specialized treatment for spinal tumors and spinal stenosis in Kurnool. Our multidisciplinary team offers expert diagnosis, surgical treatment, and comprehensive care for patients with spinal masses and narrowing of the spinal canal. We combine neurosurgical expertise with advanced technology for optimal outcomes.
Spine tumors are abnormal growths within or around the spinal column. They can be benign or malignant, and may originate in the spine or spread from other parts of the body. Spinal stenosis is a narrowing of the spinal canal that compresses the spinal cord and nerve roots.
Tumors that originate in the spine or nearby spinal structures. They may develop from the vertebrae, spinal cord coverings, nerve roots, or other tissues.
Tumors that spread to the spine from cancer originating elsewhere in the body. Metastatic tumors are more common in the spine than primary spinal tumors.
Tumors that develop within the bones of the spine. They can weaken the vertebrae and may cause persistent back pain, fractures, spinal instability, or nerve compression.
Tumors that develop within or around the spinal cord can interfere with nerve function and may cause weakness, numbness, changes in sensation, balance problems, or bladder and bowel symptoms.
A tumor arising from the meninges, the protective layers surrounding the spinal cord. Most spinal meningiomas are slow-growing and non-cancerous but can cause symptoms by compressing the spinal cord or nerves.
A usually slow-growing tumor arising from Schwann cells that surround peripheral nerves. Spinal schwannomas commonly develop along nerve roots and can cause pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness.
A tumor involving nerve tissue that can develop along spinal nerve roots. Some occur as part of genetic conditions such as neurofibromatosis, while others occur sporadically.
A tumor arising from cells associated with the central nervous system. Spinal ependymomas are among the more common intramedullary spinal cord tumors in adults.
A tumor arising from astrocytes, a type of glial cell in the nervous system. Spinal astrocytomas can occur within the spinal cord and vary considerably in their behavior and grade.
A vascular lesion commonly found within vertebral bones. Most vertebral hemangiomas are benign and cause no symptoms, although a small number can become aggressive and affect nearby structures.
A rare primary malignant bone tumor that typically develops along the midline of the spine, particularly near the sacrum or the base of the skull.
A rare malignant bone tumor that can occasionally develop in the spine. It can cause persistent pain, swelling, or structural weakening of the affected vertebra.
A malignant tumor arising from cartilage-producing cells that can occur in the spine. It may cause persistent localized pain and structural changes.
A tumor formed by abnormal plasma cells that can develop within a vertebral bone. It may be associated with multiple myeloma and can weaken the affected vertebra.
A blood cancer involving abnormal plasma cells that can affect the bones of the spine, causing bone weakening, vertebral fractures, persistent back pain, or spinal cord compression.
Breast cancer can spread to the spine and form metastatic lesions in vertebral bones. These lesions may cause pain, fractures, or spinal cord and nerve compression.
Prostate cancer commonly spreads to bones, including the spine. Spinal metastases can cause persistent back pain, weakness, fractures, or neurological symptoms.
Lung cancer can spread to the vertebrae and may cause back pain, spinal instability, fractures, or compression of spinal nerves or the spinal cord.
A tumor can compress the spinal cord or nerve roots, potentially causing pain, weakness, numbness, difficulty walking, or changes in bladder and bowel function. Significant or rapidly developing neurological symptoms require urgent medical evaluation.
Tumors that weaken or destroy vertebral bone can compromise spinal stability and increase the risk of deformity or pathological fracture.
Early recognition and prompt medical attention are crucial for optimal outcomes.
Back pain (especially worse at night), pain radiating to limbs, and pain not relieved by rest.
Numbness, tingling, weakness, and loss of sensation in the limbs.
Unsteady gait, difficulty walking, and loss of bowel or bladder control.
Unexplained weight loss, fatigue, and general malaise.
Spinal tumors and stenosis require prompt evaluation and treatment to prevent neurological damage.
