Metastatic Spinal Cord Compression
Journal of the National Comprehensive Cancer Network, 2005Approximately 70% of cancer patients have metastatic disease at death. The spine is involved in up to 40% of those patients. Spinal cord compression may develop in 5% to 10% of cancer patients and up to 40% of patients with preexisting nonspinal bone metastasis (>25,000 cases/y).

Malignant spinal-cord compression
The Lancet Oncology, 2005Malignant spinal-cord compression (MSCC) is a common complication of cancer and has a substantial negative effect on quality of life and survival. Despite widespread availability of good diagnostic technology, studies indicate that most patients are diagnosed only after they become unable to walk.

Malignant spinal cord compression
Current Treatment Options in Oncology, 2003Malignant spinal cord compression is one of the most dreaded complications of cancer. If untreated, it can lead to worsening neurologic function culminating in paralysis and sphincter incontinence. The most challenging aspect in the management of this complication is early diagnosis because the single most important factor determining outcome is the ...

Epidural spinal cord compression
Critical Reviews in Oncology/Hematology, 2005Spinal 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

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

Spinal cord compression in lymphoma
The American Journal of the Medical Sciences, 1978A retrospective analysis of 59 patients with diffuse histiocytic and diffuse poorly differentiated lymphocytic lymphoma was performed to determine the incidence and characteristic features of patients developing spinal cord compression. Spinal cord compression occurred in 6 of 59 (10.2%) patients.

Compression of the spinal cord can result from trauma, cancer, epidural abscess, or epidural hematoma and can have a variety of clinical manifestations based on the anatomical level and completeness of the compression. Treatment approaches are outlined.

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.

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.
