Spinal tumors sometimes may be overlooked because they're rare and because their symptoms resemble those of conditions that are much more common. For that reason, it's especially important that your doctor know your complete medical history and perform both physical and neurological exams. If your doctor suspects a spinal tumor, one or more of the following tests can help confirm the diagnosis and pinpoint the tumor's location:
- Spinal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
- Computerized tomography (CT)
- Myelogram
- Biopsy
