  • Title: Spinal cord compression caused by dual pathology: a close shave with Ockham's razor.
    Author: Wright JF, Powell S, Williams MP.
    Journal: Clin Radiol; 1988 Sep; 39(5):558-9. PubMed ID: 3180678.
    Abstract:
    A case of spinal cord compression in an oncology patient is presented. The compression was caused by minimal expansion of a vertebral body involved by a metastatic deposit impinging on a previously asymptomatic lipomatous spinal cord tumour. Nuclear magnetic resonance imaging clearly demonstrated both the vertebral metastasis and the intramedullary and extramedullary components of the lipomatous tumour in a single noninvasive investigation.
