A member asked:
When spinal cord tumors cause coordination issues is it constant or transient?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Spinal cord tumors: Tumors in the central nervous system can often grow very slowly and displace tissue gently. At some point the tumor will cause symptoms either by infiltration, compression or edema. Once the symptoms start they should be constant and progressive. Vascular lesions are much more likely to cause intermittent symptoms..
