Second case the least favorable results were obtained in case with rapid progression of neurological feature and multiple involvement at spinal cord and brain. The early diagnosis and treatment often prevent patients from becoming paraplegic. This paper is concerned with the discription of the clinical feature of spinal cord compression by malignant tumors and results of treatment.
