  • Title: Paraplegia in a puerperal woman due to spinal metastasis from papillary carcinoma of the thyroid gland.
    Author: Rajab KE, Issa AA, Das RK, Al-Aradi AN.
    Journal: Saudi Med J; 2005 Jun; 26(6):985-8. PubMed ID: 15983689.
    Abstract:
    We present an unusual case of paraplegia which occurred on the second postnatal day. Investigations revealed a spinal mass at D-7 level. Histopathology of the tumor showed it to be a spinal metastasis from a solitary thyroid malignant nodule. The patient had laminotomy and biopsy, followed later by total thyroidectomy. She also had radiotherapy and radio-iodine ablation. We discuss the therapeutic modalities of such a condition.
