Intramedullary spinal cord metastases from breast cancer detection mpmri: one case report and literature review

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: Although intramedullary spinal cord metastasis (ISCM) is rare, it may be a fatal complication of malignancy. Regardless of the therapeutic options, its prognosis is mostly poor, as its presence often indicates end-stage malignancy. However, with early diagnosis and appropriate treatment, selected patients may have better neurological outcomes and quality of life. Advanced imaging techniques: mpMRI could lead to improved outcomes for patients by facilitating earlier diagnosis and tailored therapeutic approaches, helping clinicians to better determine treatment options, which is crucial for improving patient outcomes in cases of ISCM.
