Intramedullary Spinal Cord Metastasis

✓ A case of intramedullary spinal cord metastasis from gastric cancer is reported. A 51-year-old woman presented with hemicord syndrome that had progressed within 1 month to tetraplegia. Despite total resection of the tumor, she died of disseminated intravascular coagulation and multiple organ failure. Examination of pathological findings demonstrated undifferentiated adenocarcinoma, and postoperative gastroendoscopic study revealed advanced gastric cancer. To the authors' knowledge this is the first case of intramedullary spinal cord metastasis from gastric cancer. The clinical characteristics of the disease are discussed.

Intramedullary Spinal Cord Metastasis

✓ A retrospective autopsy study of 627 patients with systemic cancer disclosed 153 patients with metastasis to the central nervous system (CNS) and 13 patients with intramedullary spinal cord metastasis (ISM). Thus, the frequency of ISM was 8.5% of cases of metastasis to the CNS and 2.1% of all cases of cancer. Bronchogenic carcinoma accounted for 11 cases of ISM, and breast carcinoma and melanoma for the other two. There were two distinct patterns of spinal cord involvement, indicating spread of tumor to the cord by two different routes. In nine of the 13 ISM patients a metastasis was found deep within the spinal cord, unassociated with leptomeningeal carcinomatosis; this most likely resulted from hematogenous spread of tumor from a pulmonary source. In the other four patients there was focal or multifocal direct extension of leptomeningeal metastatic tumor across the pia into the parenchyma of the cord. Only four of the 13 patients had a clinical myelopathy; in three of these four this was the presenting feature of an occult lung cancer.
