The neurosurgical management of spinal neoplasms has undergone immense development in parallel with advancements made in general spine surgery. Laminectomies were performed as the first surgical procedures used to treat spinal neoplasms. Since then, neurosurgical spinal oncology has started to incorporate techniques that have developed from recent advances in minimally invasive spine surgery. Neurosurgery has also integrated radiotherapy into the treatment of spine tumors. In this historical vignette, we present a vast timeline spanning from the Byzantine period to the current day and recount the major advancements in the management of spinal neoplasms.
神经外科治疗脊柱肿瘤的方法与普通脊柱外科的发展是同步的。椎板切除术是治疗脊柱肿瘤的最初手术方法。从那时起，神经外科脊柱肿瘤学开始采用微创脊柱外科最新进展所开发的技术。神经外科也将放射治疗纳入脊柱肿瘤的治疗中。在这个历史小插曲中，我们呈现了一个从拜占庭时期到现在的广阔时间线，并回顾了脊柱肿瘤治疗的主要进展。
