Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Neurology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Spinal cord compression from epidural metastatic tumors is a critical oncologic emergency.
  • It necessitates immediate diagnosis and intervention to avert irreversible neurologic deficits.
  • Physicians must maintain a high index of suspicion, even with a long tumor-free interval.
