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 ...

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.

Home Healthcare Nurse: The Journal for the Home Care and Hospice Professional, 2006
Patients with SCC due to metastatic disease of the spine must be simultaneously evaluated with regard to neurologic impairment, stability of the spine, and tumor type. A multidisciplinary approach is required for these patients including an internist, medical oncologist, radiation oncologist, and spinal surgeon.

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 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.

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 and Spinal Cord Tumours
1992The spinal canal extends from the foramen magnum to the coccyx. The spinal intradural and subarachnoid compartments containing the neural elements end at the level of S2. The cord lies within these meningeal sleeves and in a normal adult, the conus medullaris tapers to an end at the L1/L2 intervertebral disc level.

Spinal cord compression (SCC) occurs when degenerative spine disease, metastatic or primary spine tumors, hematoma, infectious lesions, or other etiologies pressurize the epi- or intradural space and therefore the spinal cord. The exact incidence and prevalence of SCC remain unknown.
