Spinal Cord Compression

Current Treatment Options in Neurology, 2012
Malignant epidural spinal cord compression (MESCC) remains a common neuro-oncologic emergency with high associated morbidity. Despite widespread availability of MRI, the diagnosis frequently goes unmade until myelopathy supervenes, which is unfortunate because the strongest predictor of neurologic outcome with treatment is the neurologic status when ...

Spinal Cord Compression

, 2013
Spinal cord compression is a serious neurological emergency and should be evaluated without any delay. The prognosis of spinal cord compression depends on the nature and extent of the original injury as well as the timely assessment and initiation of treatment.

A deep learning model for detection of cervical spinal cord compression in MRI scans

Scientific Reports, 2021
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) evidence of spinal cord compression plays a central role in the diagnosis of degenerative cervical myelopathy (DCM). There is growing recognition that deep learning models may assist in addressing the increasing volume of

Metastatic Spinal Cord Compression: Unraveling the Diagnostic and Therapeutic Challenges

Anticancer Research, 2018
Malignant spinal cord compression (MSCC) is one of the most devastating complications of cancer. Patients often present with a history of progressive pain, paralysis, sensory loss, progressive spinal deformity, and loss of sphincter control.

Can microstructural MRI detect subclinical tissue injury in subjects with asymptomatic cervical spinal cord compression? A prospective cohort study

BMJ Open, 2018
Objectives Degenerative cervical myelopathy (DCM) involves extrinsic spinal cord compression causing tissue injury and neurological dysfunction. Asymptomatic spinal cord compression (ASCC) is more common, but its significance is poorly defined.

A comparison of radiological descriptions of spinal cord compression with quantitative measures, and their role in non-specialist clinical management

PLoS ONE, 2019
Introduction Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is gold-standard for investigating Degenerative Cervical Myelopathy (DCM), a disabling disease triggered by compression of the spinal cord following degenerative changes of adjacent structures.

Association of neurologic deficits with surgical outcomes and health‐related quality of life after treatment for metastatic epidural spinal cord compression

Cancer, 2019
A critical knowledge gap exists regarding the impact of neurologic deficits on surgical outcomes and health‐related quality of life (HRQOL) for patients surgically treated for metastatic epidural spinal cord compression (MESCC).

Role of macrophages and activated microglia in neuropathic pain associated with chronic progressive spinal cord compression

Scientific Reports, 2019
Neuropathic pain (NeP) is commonly encountered in patients with diseases associated with spinal cord damage (e.g., spinal cord injury (SCI) and compressive myelopathy).
