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.

Spinal Cord Compression and Spinal Cord Tumours [PDF]
, 1992 The 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.

1980
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.

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 ...

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.

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 ...

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).
