  • Title: Metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma with epidural spinal cord compression: report of an unusual and catastrophic event.
    Author: Lii FN, Chen YM, Shu CH, Liu JM, Whang-Peng J.
    Journal: Zhonghua Yi Xue Za Zhi (Taipei); 1995 Feb; 55(2):195-8. PubMed ID: 7750063.
    Abstract:
    Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) with epidural metastasis of spinal cord has rarely been reported. We present an NPC patient with epidural spinal cord compression due to metastasis. In spite of emergent radiotherapy and large dose decadron treatment, this patient still had severe sequela of paraplegia and incontinence. The epidemiology, clinical findings, diagnosis, treatment and outcome of this metastatic epidural tumor compression were discussed.
