Fifty one pc of the neoplasms were found in the thoracic region, 53,4 pc were found extradurally, and of these the majority were metastatic (52 pc) and malignant tumours (85 pc). Most (96 pc) intradural- extramedullary tumours were benign with Schwannomas as the largest group (54 pc). Malignant astrocytomas presented as 71,4 pc of all intramedullary tumours.
