Abstract:
Rheumatoid arthritis as a cause of medullary compression due to subluxation of rheumatically diseased joints is very common. However, spinal cord compression by rheumatoid nodules is seen rarely, usually by extradural lesions. We describe two cases of intradural rheumatoid nodules causing spinal cord compression.
