Metastatic spinal cord compression

British Journal of Hospital Medicine (London, England: 2005), 2020
Metastatic spinal cord compression is compression of the spinal cord or cauda equina as a result of metastatic deposits in the spinal column. It affects approximately 4000 cases per year in England and Wales. Prompt identification and treatment of metastatic spinal cord compression is necessary to prevent irreversible neurological injury, treat pain ...

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 ...

Methylprednisolone in Spinal Cord Compression

Spine, 1989
In acute nonsurvival studies, eight anesthetized lambs were subjected to cord compression at T13 by means of an epidural balloon distended to a pressure of 200 mm Hg for 40 minutes. Subsequent to withdrawal of the balloon, each animal received 30 mg/kg of methylprednisolone succinate in an intravenous bolus followed by a continuous infusion of 10 mg/kg/

Metastatic spinal cord compression

BMJ, 2011
Metastatic spinal cord compression is defined radiographically as an epidural metastatic lesion causing true displacement of the spinal cord from its normal position in the spinal canal.1 It is an important source of morbidity (including paralysis and bowel and bladder disorders) in patients with systemic cancer.

Spinal cord compression in pseudohypoparathyroidism

The Spine Journal, 2013
Spinal cord compression associated with pseudohypoparathyroidism (PHP) is an increasingly reported sequelae of the underlying metabolic syndrome. The association of neurologic dysfunction with PHP is not well appreciated. We believe this to be secondary to a combination of underlying congenital stenosis, manifest by short pedicles secondary to ...

Nontraumatic spinal cord compression

The Journal of Emergency Medicine, 1992
Nontraumatic spinal cord compression can have very dramatic clinical presentations with rapid onset of symptoms and quickly ensuing paralysis. The manifestations may be much more subtle. This text will discuss the four most common causes of myelopathy, including spinal canal hemorrhage, spinal abscess, compression by tumor, and skeletal disease ...

Spinal cord compression

Neurologic Clinics, 2003
Back pain and suspected spinal cord compression remains one of the most frequent reasons for neurologic consultation in cancer patients. While treatment generally results in stabilization or improvement, early diagnosis remains the cornerstone of improving neurologic outcome.
