ABSTRACT
The intramedullary spinal cord metastasis is extremely rare and represents 8,5% of central nervous system metastasis. We report a case of intramedullary spinal cord metastasis, in a 50 years-old patient with metastatic breast carcinoma, diagnosed by magnetic resonance imaging and treated with Systemic corticosteroid therapy and palliative radiation. Through this paper, we aim to bring to literature a new case of intramedullary spinal cord metastasis of breast cancer, while developing the clinical presentation, diagnostic modalities and the management of this rare lesion.
