Risk now, walk later: A Story of a Spinal Tumor - UF Health Jacksonville

Juan Sanchez experienced tingling and numbness in his left foot, which prompted a visit with his UF Health Jacksonville primary care physician. Jeremy Coleman, MD, medical director at UF Health Family Medicine – Wildlight, ordered an MRI of his neck and referred him to the UF Health Comprehensive Spine Center – North.

Kourosh Tavanaiepour, DO, and Daryoush Tavanaiepour, MD, discuss how these relatively mild symptoms lead to the discovery of a tumor between the C6 and C7 vertebrae, which was blocking the flow of spinal fluid from his brain to his spine and why it was important to remove the tumor as soon as possible.
