The cause of thoracic spinal canal tumors is currently unknown and may be closely related to genetics, trauma and environment. Symptoms of thoracic spinal canal tumor mainly include nonspecific symptoms and nerve compression symptoms.
1. Non-specific symptoms: early symptoms of thoracic spinal canal tumor are not obvious and specific. With the further increase of tumor volume, it mainly manifests as non-specific symptoms such as local pain and discomfort, soreness and swelling, etc. Malignant tumors are often accompanied by hypoglycemia. Malignant tumors are often accompanied by nonspecific symptoms such as low fever, fatigue, emaciation and so on.
2. Nerve compression symptoms: no matter benign or malignant tumors, when the tumor body compresses or invades the nerve tissue, it will produce corresponding nerve injury symptoms, such as sensory, motor, reflex dysfunction, dysfunction or even paraplegia in the area below the plane of compression, etc. At the same time, malignant tumors invade the vertebral body. At the same time, malignant tumors may cause local deformity, collapse or even pathological fracture after invading the vertebral bone.
In order to detect thoracic vertebral bone tumor in time, it is recommended to do regular physical examination, and carry out regular treatment as soon as possible after discovery.
