The prognosis for patients with high-grade glioma is poor despite aggressive multimodal treatment. About 90% of these lesions recur intracranially. The frequency of spinal cord disease is less than 2%. We report two cases of high-grade glioma with spinal drop metastases. One of the learning points we want to share is to think in the possibility of spinal cord metastases from brain gliomas. When symptoms are suggestive of spinal cord compromise, spine MRI should be done.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
