Patient-reported outcomes in Primary Spinal Intradural Tumours: a systematic review.

Study design

Systematic review.

Objectives

Primary Spinal Intradural Tumours (PSITs) are rare pathologies that can significantly impact quality of life. This study aimed to review patient reported outcomes (PROs) in PSITs.

Methods
