Metastatic Spinal Cord Compression: Unraveling the Diagnostic and Therapeutic Challenges

Anticancer Research, 2018
Malignant spinal cord compression (MSCC) is one of the most devastating complications of cancer. Patients often present with a history of progressive pain, paralysis, sensory loss, progressive spinal deformity, and loss of sphincter control.

Omega-3 Fatty Acids Improve Recovery, whereas Omega-6 Fatty Acids Worsen Outcome, after Spinal Cord Injury in the Adult Rat [PDF]

, 2006
Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a cause of major neurological disability, and no satisfactory treatment is currently available. Evidence suggests that polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) could target some of the pathological mechanisms that underlie damage ...

Can microstructural MRI detect subclinical tissue injury in subjects with asymptomatic cervical spinal cord compression? A prospective cohort study

BMJ Open, 2018
Objectives Degenerative cervical myelopathy (DCM) involves extrinsic spinal cord compression causing tissue injury and neurological dysfunction. Asymptomatic spinal cord compression (ASCC) is more common, but its significance is poorly defined.

Spinal Cord Ependymomas [PDF]

, 2009
Intradural or primary spinal cord tumors (SCT) are rare. However, when these lesions grow, compression of the spinal cord can lead to limb dysfunction, motor or sensory loss, and possibly death.

Could spinal cord oscillation contribute to spinal cord injury in degenerative cervical myelopathy?

Brain and Spine, 2023
Introduction: Degenerative Cervical Myelopathy [DCM] is a slow-motion spinal cord injury. Compression and dynamic compression have been considered disease hallmarks.

The Combination of Separation Surgery and Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) for a Primary Osteosarcoma of the Spine: A Case Report and Literature Review

Clinical Medicine Insights: Case Reports, 2023
Background: Primary spinal osteosarcoma is a rare and intractable disease. Although en bloc resection is favorable for longer survival, it is not always achievable. Separation surgery, a partial resection with circumferential separation to safely deliver

Determination of magnetic motor evoked potential latency time cutoff values for detection of spinal cord dysfunction in horses [PDF]

, 2019
Background: Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and recording of magnetic motor evoked potentials (MMEP) can detect neurological dysfunction in horses but cutoff values based on confirmed spinal cord dysfunction are lacking.

Role of macrophages and activated microglia in neuropathic pain associated with chronic progressive spinal cord compression

Scientific Reports, 2019
Neuropathic pain (NeP) is commonly encountered in patients with diseases associated with spinal cord damage (e.g., spinal cord injury (SCI) and compressive myelopathy).
