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

Nontraumatic spinal cord compression
The Journal of Emergency Medicine, 1992Nontraumatic 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 ...

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 ...

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 is a serious neurological condition characterized by pressure on the spinal cord, which can result in a range of symptoms including pain, numbness, motor weakness, and, in severe cases, paralysis. This article explores the etiology, clinical presentation, diagnostic methods, and management strategies for spinal cord compression.

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.

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.
