| Popis: |
The authors report a case of spinal cord compression in the thoracic spine as a result of metastasis of prostate cancer. The patient's symptom was only severe back pain followed by paraplegia in four days. Magnetic resonance images had advantages over plain films in the detection of metastatic lesions. We raised the caution that the physician should consider prostatic metastasis in the differential diagnosis on any middle-aged or elderly man who has spinal cord lesions, even if there is no past history of prostate cancer. |
