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.

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 ...

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 ...

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.

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.

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 ...

Malignant spinal cord compression is a dreaded consequence of advanced cancer. Patients with this condition have an average life expectancy of 3–6 months. Diagnosis is dependent upon a high index of suspicion, thorough physical exam, and advanced imaging. A multidisciplinary approach to treatment is required to ensure optimal outcomes.

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
