Abstract

Intramedullary spinal cord metastasis is very rare. In this study, we present the case of a 32-year-old male patient with a 2-month history of bilateral lower extremity weakness. Initial magnetic resonance imaging of the dorsal spine showed abnormal thickening of the dorsal spinal cord at the level of the T1-2 bodies. FDG-PET/CT images revealed a hypermetabolic lesion in the spinal cord at this level. This patient had an intramedullary spinal cord metastasis, a rare form of metastatic disease, secondary to malignant mesenchymal tumor

Özet

İntramedüller spinal kord metastazı çok nadirdir. Bu çalışmada, 2 aydır bilateral alt ekstremite zayıflığı olan 32 yaşındaki erkek olguyu sunduk. Yapılan Magnetik Resonans görüntülemede torakal vertebra 1-2 seviyesinde omurilikte anormal kalınlaşma görüldü. FDG-PET/BT görüntüler T1-2 seviyesinde omurilikte hipermetabolik lezyon izlendi. Bu hastada metastatik hastalığın nadir formu olan malign mezenkimal tümöre ikincil intramedüller spinal kord metastazıdır
