Spinal cord compression
Neurol Clin.
2003 Feb.
Abstract
Back pain and suspected spinal cord compression remains one of the most frequent reasons for neurologic consultation in cancer patients. While treatment generally results in stabilization or improvement, early diagnosis remains the cornerstone of improving neurologic outcome. This article reviews the clinical features, differential diagnosis, and management of neoplastic epidural spinal cord compression.
