Abstract

Primary malignant spinal astrocytomas present rare oncological entities with limited median survival and rapid neurological deterioration. Evidence on surgical therapy, adjuvant treatment, and neurological outcome is sparse. We aim to describe the treatment algorithm and clinical features on patients with infiltrating intramedullary astrocytomas graded WHO II-IV.
