Abstract
We report on a case of a man of 51 years, who presented with pain and symptoms of progressive spinal cord compression caused by an intramedullary spinal tumor at T8. Before surgery a bronchial carcinoma was diagnosed. A MRI-study detected an edema of the spinal cord at T8. Myelography and spinal Angiography revealed a spinal vascular malformation at the same level. Both lesion were removed and the histological examination confirmed the coexistence of an intramedullary spinal metastasis from a carcinoma of the bronchus with a spinal vascular malformation.
