摘要
To report the occurrence of intramedullary spinal cord metastases in a patient with a mesothelioma. A case report. Setting: University medical center. A 67-year old man with mesothelioma developed paraparesis 6-months after diagnostic thoracotomy. MR spine imaging revealed an intramedullary spinal cord metastases. Cyber-knife radiotherapy. Intramedullary spinal cord metastases, although rare, is increasingly recognized with spinal cord MRI. Treatment remains unsatisfactory as treatment with surgery or irradiation is only partially effective.
