Acute Spinal Cord Compression

New England Journal of Medicine, 2017
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 [PDF]

open access: possible, 2017
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.

Malignant spinal-cord compression

The Lancet Oncology, 2005
Malignant 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.

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

Spinal cord compression

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.

Methylprednisolone in Spinal Cord Compression

Spine, 1989
In 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/

Metastatic spinal cord compression

BMJ, 2011
Metastatic 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

2016
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

1984
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 ...
