PATHOPHYSIOLOGY<br />
SP<strong>IN</strong>AL CORD COMPRESSION<br />
Direct compression or distortion of the spinal cord may<br />
result from neoplastic infiltration of the vertebral bodies or<br />
paravertebral spaces.<br />
Rarely, cancerous growths may originate from structures<br />
within the epidural space.<br />
Nerve tracts most vulnerable to mechanical pressure<br />
include the corticospinal and spinocerebellar tracts and the<br />
posterior spinal columns.
