Intramedullary spinal cord metastases (ISCM) are uncommon metastases of the spinal cord. Magnetic resonance (MR) plays an important role in surgical planning when ISCM is suspected in the differential diagnosis. The incidence of ISCM is expected to increase due to the longer survival of cancer patients as well as the widespread use of MR in the diagnosis of neurological syndromes. The management of these patients is controversial because of the multiple clinical presentations and lack of controlled studies on the efficacy of different therapeutic approaches. Increased awareness of this rare entity may lead to an earlier diagnosis with novel imaging approaches at a stage when neurological deficits are reversible. A case of ISCM in a 49-year-old patient with differentiated thyroid cancer is reported.

The objective of the different types of treatments for a spinal metastasis is to provide the best oncological and functional result with the least aggressive side effects. Initially created in 2010 to help clinicians in the management of vertebral metastases, the Spine Instability Neoplastic Score (SINS) has quickly found its place in the decision making and the treatment of patients with metastatic spinal disease. Here we conduct a review of the literature describing the different changes that occurred with the SINS score in the last ten years. After a brief presentation of the spinal metastases’ distribution, with or without spinal cord compression, we present the utility of SINS in the radiological diagnosis and extension of the disease, in addition to its limits, especially for scores ranging between 7 and 12. We take this opportunity to expose the latest advances in surgery and radiotherapy concerning spinal metastases, as well as in palliative care and pain control. We also discuss the reliability of SINS amongst radiologists, radiation oncologists, spine surgeons and spine surgery trainees. Finally, we will present the new SINS-derived predictive scores, biomarkers and artificial intelligence algorithms that allow a multidisciplinary approach for the management of spinal metastases.
