Sažetak
Intramedullary spinal cord metastases are extremely rare. There are only a few hundred published cases in the English literature. In cancer patients who have undergone autopsy, intramedullary spinal cord metastases have been found in only 0, 9-2, 1%. Symptomatic intramedullary spinal cord metastases are even rarer. They occur in only 0, 1-0, 4% of all cancer patients. Before the routine use of magnetic resonance imaging, only 5% of them were recognized before death. Lung and breast cancer are two most frequent primary sites that spread to spinal cord. Paraplegia is quite common complication in lung cancer patients. It usually occurs due to metastatic spread to vertebra and consequential vertebral fracture. We present a patient with locally advanced non- small cell lung cancer, who has gained paraplegia due to intramedullary spinal cord metastasis.
