    Intramedullary spinal cord tumors (IMSCTs) represent 2-4% of CNS neoplasms and 20-30% of spinal cord tumors in adults.

  • 2

    Microsurgical resection is crucial for preventing neurological deficits and improving survival in patients with IMSCTs.

  • 3

    This study is the first prospective analysis evaluating neurological, functional, and quality-of-life outcomes post-IMSCT resection.

  • 4

    Detailed assessments were conducted preoperatively and at multiple follow-up points to gauge patient recovery and satisfaction.

  • 5

    The study aims to enhance understanding of health-related outcomes and inform decision-making for IMSCT treatment.
