摘要：

Malignant spinal cord compression is a medical emergency. Along with superior vena cava compression syndrome, spinal cord compression numbers among the most common oncologic emergencies. Delay in diagnosis or treatment can lead to greater or lesser degrees of paralysis or sphincter sensory alterations or loss of control in a very high percentage of patients, leading to considerable deterioration in quality of life. Early diagnosis followed by appropriate treatment of symptoms are the factors that most improve prognosis. [Emergencias 2010;22:120-124]
