Spinal cord compression in neuroblastoma
Surgical Neurology, 1985Twelve of 80 patients suffering from neuroblastoma who were treated during a 21-year period had intraspinal involvement. Mediastinal tumors have a greater tendency to extend to the spinal canal; however, distant spread of the tumor is rare in patients presenting with intraspinal extension.

Malignant spinal cord compression is a dreaded consequence of advanced cancer. Patients with this condition have an average life expectancy of 3–6 months. Diagnosis is dependent upon a high index of suspicion, thorough physical exam, and advanced imaging. A multidisciplinary approach to treatment is required to ensure optimal outcomes.

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses spinal cord compression that may evolve from disease or trauma of the vertebrae, prolapse of intervertebral discs, or lesions within the spinal canal such as tumor or infection. Unfortunately, the relatively uncommon condition of spinal cord compression can often begin with the almost ubiquitous symptom of ...

Management of Metastatic Spinal Cord Compression
Tumori Journal, 2003Metastatic spinal cord compression, diagnosed in 3–7% of cancer patients, is one of the most dreaded complications of metastatic cancer. It is an oncologic emergency, which must be diagnosed early and treated promptly to achieve the best results and avoid progressive pain, paralysis, sensory loss and sphincter incontinence.

Spinal cord compression is one of the most devastating complications of cancer. Palliation for this complication is of paramount importance, for survival is frequently prolonged, and the paralytic effects of cord compression can be an overwhelming ordeal for both the patient and the family.

Spinal cord compression, one of the most dreaded complications of malignancy, is usually caused by metastatic bone disease compressing the spinal cord and/or nerve roots. If not recognized and treated promptly, it can have potentially catastrophic outcomes.

Spinal Cord and Root Compression
Medicine, 2000Abstract Spinal cord and root compression is a common problem in all specialties. There are many possible classifications, based on location (extradural or intradural), disease type (congenital, acquired, inflammatory, infective, neoplastic, degenerative or traumatic) or timing of onset (acute or chronic). Syndromes used to describe different clinical

Abstract The issues related to the treatment of spinal cord compression from cancer present a paradigm for the treatment of all metastatic disease. The profound consequence of paralysis from spinal cord compression to the patient and their caregivers involves significant suffering and financial burden.

Spinal cord compression refers to an inward displacement of the dural sac and/or its contents by a lesion arising outside of the spinal cord. It is caused by metastatic or primary spine tumors, disk herniations, vertebral fractures, cysts, spinal epidural abscesses and hematomas, and degenerative disease most commonly.
