  • Title: [Compression of the spinal cord by the amyloid tissue in the thoracic vertebral amyloidoma].
    Author: Vila N, Hernández MV, Alday M, Solé M, Gastón F, Graus F, Tolosa E.
    Journal: Neurologia; 1994 Apr; 9(4):162-4. PubMed ID: 8018348.
    Abstract:
    Solitary amyloidoma consists of amyloid tissue deposits in the absence of systemic amyloidosis or plasma cell dyscrasia. Single vertebral amyloidoma is an unusual cause of spinal cord compression. We present the case of a 72-year-old man with medullar compression by amyloidoma affecting the sixth dorsal vertebra and with nuclear magnetic resonance images that were indistinguishable from epidural metastasis. The patient improved notably after resection.
