Abstract
One hundred and twenty cases of malignant extradural spinal compression have been reviewed. It is essential to treat such patients early whilst their neurological defects are minimal. When useful function has been lost, it is rarely regained postoperatively, irrespective of the rate of onset, and particularly if the duration of the fixed deficit exceeds 24 hours.Entities:
