What Is Cervical Stenosis?
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
7. Tumors
A tumor is an abnormal growth of bodily tissues. They can be found anywhere in the body, including in the spine. Tumors can be cancerous, but most are thankfully not. A tumor can still cause problems if it is not cancerous, however, because they can grow to a point where they begin to interfere with the surrounding tissues.
Some of the conditions that tumors cause can be quite serious, and a tumor can lead to cervical stenosis if they occur inside the spinal canal. These are thankfully quite rare and it will often need a CT or MRI to find them.
