Malignant spinal cord compression (MSCC) is an oncological emergency requiring rapid diagnosis and treatment to prevent irreversible spinal cord injury and disability. (bmj.com)
This was due to an unusual aetiology of the MSCC as the renal carcinoma had metastasised to his left psoas muscle causing a lumbosacral plexopathy and infiltrated through the intervertebral disc spaces, initially causing left lateral cauda equina and upper lumbar cord compression, before complete spinal cord compression. (bmj.com)
This case illustrates the varied aetiology of MSCC and reinforces the importance of maintaining a high index of suspicion of the possibility of spinal cord compression. (bmj.com)

Malignant spinal cord compression (MSCC) is defined as the compression of the dural sac and its contents (spinal cord or cauda equina) by an extradural or intradural mass, which may lead to irreversible neurological damage such as paraplegia or tetraplegia depending on the level of the lesion.

Fracture1
If the nerves and/or the spinal cord are involved in the fracture, the person may also experience bladder or bowel dysfunction, tingling, weakness in the limbs and numbness. (stvincenthospital.com)
Prevent irreversible1

Metastasis3
analysis of parameters and assessment of its accuracy in determining survival in patients afflicted with spinal metastasis. (medscape.com)
A case is described in a 45-year-old male with renal cell carcinoma in which the presentation of the MSCC was atypical with principally proximal left leg weakness with no evidence of bone metastasis. (bmj.com)
In most cases, cord damage occurs due to an extension of vertebral body metastasis into epidural spaces, but damage can be due to vertebral collapse, direct metastasis through the intervertebral foramen and due to obstruction of the vascular supply. (palcareindia.com)
Outcome2
This retrospective study compares short-course RT (1 × 8 Gy/1 day, 5 × 4 Gy/1 week) and long-course RT (10 × 3 Gy/2 weeks, 15 × 2.5 Gy/3 weeks, 20 × 2 Gy/4 weeks) for functional outcome in 252 NSCLC patients developing MSCC. (elsevierpure.com)

Decompression1
This patient was treated with image-guided 3DCRT (IG-3DCRT) alone using a FIF technique and a unique hypofractionated dose fractionation scheme, which resulted in good tumor control and sufficient cord decompression, which in turn allowed a delayed but gradual improvement in her severe neurological dysfunction.
