Epidural spinal cord compression
Critical Reviews in Oncology/Hematology, 2005 Spinal cord compression from epidural metastases (epidural spinal cord compression, ESCC) is the most common neurological complication of cancer after brain metastases. Extradural compression represents 97% of spinal cord metastatic lesions. ESCC usually occurs in patients with disseminated disease. The most common tumours associated with ESCC are lung

Management of Metastatic Spinal Cord Compression
Tumori Journal, 2003 Metastatic 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.

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 ...

Metastatic spinal cord compression
BMJ, 2011Metastatic 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, 2013Spinal 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 ...

Methylprednisolone in Spinal Cord Compression
Spine, 1989In 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/

Pseudopseudohypoparathyroidism with spinal cord compression
Pediatric Radiology, 1988We describe a patient with pseudopseudohypoparathyroidism who had an osseous tubercle on the anterolateral margin of the foramen magnum causing compression of the spinal cord. This patient had no evidence for any endocrinopathies and had no other spinal canal anomalies.

Epidural spinal cord compression
Current Treatment Options in Neurology, 2004Epidural spinal cord compression is a neurologic emergency requiring immediate attention. The therapy instituted depends on several factors, including the patient's condition at the time of presentation, the nature of the underlying malignancy, the extent of systemic disease burden, and patient prognosis.
