Intramedullary spinal cord metastasis (ISM) is uncommon. It is one of the causes of a noncompressive myelopathy in a patient with systemic cancer. It is very difficult to diagnose clinically and on myelogram. We found the Magnetic Resonance Imaging appearance very useful in its diagnosis. We report one proven case of ISM to illustrate the diagnostic and therapeutic problem.
脊髓髓内转移瘤(ISM)并不常见。它是全身癌症患者非压迫性脊髓病的病因之一。临床上和脊髓造影时很难诊断。我们发现磁共振成像表现对其诊断非常有用。我们报告一例经证实的脊髓髓内转移瘤病例以说明诊断和治疗问题。
