RESUMO
El cáncer es en España la segunda causa de muerte en mujeres (22%) y la primera en varones (31%). En este capítulo describimos los tipos más frecuentes de metástasis raquídeas, sus localizaciones más habituales dentro de la columna vertebral, así como su comportamiento clínico. Analizamos también los cuadros neurológicos más comúnmente asociados a las metástasis de columna: compresión radicular, compresión medular, cauda equina y afectación medular.(AU)
Cancer is in Spain the second cause of death in women (22%) and the first in men (31%). In this chapter we describe the most frequent types of spinal metastases, their most frequent locations within the spine, as well as their clinical behavior. We also analyze the neurological conditions most frequently associated with spinal metastases: root compression, spinal cord compression, cauda equina, and spinal cord involvement.(AU)
