Problems of early diagnosis of space-occupying intraspinal lesions are discussed in relation to 335 patients on whom surgery had been carried out. Advances in neuroradiological methods are considered. The development of new contrast media has resulted in a reduction of the risk of invasive procedures and this should lead to diagnosis of space-occupying spinal lesions at a very early stage. It is now possible to diagnosis small tumours before they cause compression of the cord or of nerve roots.
结合335例接受手术治疗的患者，讨论了脊柱内占位性病变的早期诊断问题。文中考虑了神经放射学方法的进展。新型造影剂的开发降低了侵入性检查的风险，这应能在非常早期阶段诊断出脊柱占位性病变。现在能够在小肿瘤导致脊髓或神经根受压之前进行诊断。
