    Abstract: Objective: Spinal cord tumors constitute a small part of spinal surgery owing to their rarity. This retrospective study describes their current management.Methods: Forty-eight patients were treated for an intramedullary tumor between 2014 and 2020 at a single institution. Patients’ files were retrospectively studied. We detailed clinical status according to neurological deficit and ambulatory ability using the modified McCormick Scale, radiological features like number of levels, associated syringomyelia, surgical technique with or without intraoperative electrophysiological monitoring, pathological findings, and postoperative outcome.Results: The median age of this population was 43 years, including 5 patients under 18 years. The median delay before first neurosurgical contact was 3 months after the first clinical complaint. Treatment was gross total resection in 43.8%, subtotal resection in 50.0%, and biopsy in 6.2%. A laminectomy was performed for all the patients except 2 operated using the laminoplasty technique. Pathological findings were ependymoma in 43.8%, hemangioblastoma in 20.8%, and pilocytic astrocytoma in 10.4%. Six patients were reoperated for a tumor recurrence less than 2 years after the first surgical resection. One patient was reoperated for a postoperative cervical kyphosis.Conclusion: Intramedullary tumors are still a challenging disease and they are treated by various surgical techniques. They must be managed in a specialized center including a trained surgical, radiological, electrophysiological, and pathological team. Arthrodesis must be discussed before performing extensive laminectomy to avoid postoperative kyphosis.

    Abstract: Objective: To describe and analysed the functional outcome (FO) after spinal meningioma (SM) surgery.Methods: We processed the système national des données de santé (SNDS) i.e. , the French national administrative medical database to retrieve appropriate cases. We analysed the International Classification of Diseases 10 codes to assess the FO. Logistic models were implemented to search for variables associated with a favourable FO i.e. , a patient being independent at home without disabling symptom.Results: A total of 2,844 patients were identified of which 79.1% were female. Median age at surgery was 66 years, interquartile range (IQR) (56–75). Ninety-five point nine percent of the SMs were removed through a posterior ± lateral approach and 0.7% need an associated stabilisation. Benign meningioma represented 92.9% and malignant 2.1%. Median follow-up was 5.5 years, IQR (2.1–8), and at data collection 9% had died. The FO was good and increased along the follow-up: 84.3% of the patients were alive and had not associated symptoms at one year, 85.9% at 2 and 86.8% at 3 years. Nonetheless, 3 years after the surgery 9.8% of the alive patients still presented at least one disabling symptom of which 2.7% motor deficit, 3.3% bladder control problem, and 2.5% gait disturbance. One point seven percent were care-provider dependent and 2.1% chair or bedfast. In the multivariable logistic regression an older age at surgery (odds ratio [OR], 0.37; 95% confidence interval [CI] , 0.29–0.47, p 〈 0.001), a high level of comorbidities (OR, 0.71; 95% CI, 0.66–0.75, p 〈 0.001), and an aggressive tumor (OR, 0.49; 95% CI, 0.33–0.73; p 〈 0.001) were associated with a worse FO.Conclusion: FO after meningioma surgery is favourable but, may be impaired for older patients with a high level of comorbidities and aggressive tumor.
