Abstract
Owing to regular control examinations in cancer patients, more and more asymptomatic cases of spinal metastasis are being observed. In these patients radiation is still the first treatment to be employed. However, in patients with impending or progressive myelopathy - with or without previous radiation - surgical treatment is indicated (1, 5).There are nevertheless special problems in cases of tumorous infiltration of the lower cervical and lumbar spine (Fig. 1).
