  • Title: [2 patients with paraplegia caused by spinal cord tumor metastases].
    Author: Taphoorn MJ, Roesdi MF, Heimans JJ.
    Journal: Ned Tijdschr Geneeskd; 1994 Feb 12; 138(7):360-3. PubMed ID: 8121526.
    Abstract:
    In two women, 72 and 65 years old, medullary metastases were found of a mammary adenocarcinoma and a small cell bronchial carcinoma respectively. Radiotherapy and corticosteroids led to stabilisation and functional recovery, but the patients died shortly afterwards. Intramedullary spinal cord metastasis is an infrequent but devastating complication of cancer. The treatment options are limited and the prognosis is poor.
