Abstract

Spinal intradural extramedullary metastasis are very rare. The authors report a case of spinal metastasis at the T5 level in the intradural extramedullary space in a 76-year-old man who presented with paraparesis and sciatica. Preoper-ative neuroradiologic imaging studies were highly suggestive of intradural mass lesion with compressive myelopathy. Pathology revealed metastatic squamous cell carcinoma. We describle the mechanism of tumor spread in intradural spinal metastasis.
