Abstract

Intramedullary spinal cord metastasis is a rare entity. In this

case report , we described an 82-year-old male patient with lung

cancer who developed acute urinary retention during palliative

radiotherapy for painful rib metastases. Left lower limb paresis

occurred subsequently. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan

revealed intramedullary spinal cord metastasis at the 11th-12th

thoracic spine level. We decided to give steroid treatment and

apply palliative radiotherapy. Spinal cord compression is generally

seen due to vertebral metastases and compression fractures.

Intramedullary spinal cord metastasis is a rare entity with only case

reports in the literature. We aim to draw attention to this rare entity

and increase awareness among physicians.

Abstract

İntramedullar spinal kord metastazı nadir görülen bir durumdur.

Ağrılı kostal metastaza yönelik radyoterapi uygulanan 82 yaşındaki

akciğer kanserli bir olguda akut üriner retansiyon ve ardından sol

alt ekstremite parezisi gelişti. Manyetik rezonans görüntüleme

(MRG)’de torakal 11-12 vertebral aralığında intramedullar spinal

kord metastazı saptanan hastaya steroid tedavi ve radyoterapi

uygulandı. Spinal kord basıları genellikle vertebra metastazları ve

kompresyon fraktürlerine bağlı olarak gelişir. Intramedullar spinal

kord metastazları ise nadirdir ve literatürde olgu sunumları şeklinde

raporlanmıştır. Nadir görülen bu olguyu klinik değerlendirme

amacıyla raporladık.
