Míšní metastáza adenokarcinomu-kazuistika. Spinal Cord Metastasis of Adenocarcinoma - Case Report

Original language description

Metastasis of adenocarcinoma to the spinal cord is a rare condition that accounts for 1-3 % of spinal tumours. The authors present the case of a 74-year-old man who suddenly developed quadriparesis and was subsequently diagnosed as a tumour of the cervical spinal cord. The spinal tumour was removed surgically and a metastasis of an adenocarcinoma was shown histologically, probably from the sigmoid colon. Early diagnosis of spinal metastases by means of magnetic resonance and microsurgical resection canimprove prognosis and neurological deficit of patients to some extent. The available literature presents a total of 71 cases of surgery, which is recommended in selected cases, in particular for patients with a potentially radio-resistant metastasis. Theaim of surgery is the decompression of functional nerve tissue and histological verification of the origin of the tumour. Survival time after such an operation is approximately twice that when therapy does not involve surgery.
