BACKGROUND Spinal cord ischemia is an uncommon event that is mainly caused by dissociation of the ascending aorta as a complication after aortic surgery. Spinal arteries can develop collateral circulation; therefore, the frequency of spinal infarction is about 1% of that in the brain. Few cases of spinal cord ischemia developing in the course of lung cancer have been reported. CASE REPORT We pr...

: Breast cancer is one of the most common malignancy in Chinese women. Up to 80% patients with metastatic breast develop bone metastasis resulting local destruction and skeletal-related events such as pathological fracture spinal cord compression. Skeletal-related pose an enormous impact on patients' motor function quality life. Therefore, prevention treatment objectives metastasis, which often...

Background: Metastasis of systemic neoplasms to the spine is common; however, metastasis primary spinal cord tumors other regions in body an infrequent occurrence. A few case reports have described tumors, and most cases, patients were younger than 30 years age. Case Description: We present illustrative a 47-year-old female with metastatic lesions lumbosacral vertebrae after initial diagnosis i...

Cancer patients with spinal metastases are a diagnostic and treatment challenge for the clinician. This challenge must be addressed through a multidisciplinary, multimodal, and individualized management. The presence of tumor cells in bone metastases results in homeostatic disruption between bone formation and remodeling. Bone destruction is a late event in the formation of lytic bone metastasi...

STUDY DESIGN Retrospective study. PURPOSE To note the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) differences between pathologically proven cases of atypical spinal tuberculosis and spinal metastasis in 40 cases. OVERVIEW OF LITERATURE Spinal tuberculosis, or Pott's spine, constitutes less than 1% of all cases of tuberculosis and can be associated with a neurologic deficit. Breast, prostate and lung c...
