Posterior Endoscopic Cervical Decompression in Metastatic Cervical Spine Tumors: An Alternative to Palliative Surgery
Metastatic spinal cord compression of the cervical spine is a well-known consequence of cancer that generally manifests as an oncological emergency. This study presents and describes an alternative to the minimally invasive posterior full-endoscopic approach for direct decompression and tumor debulk...

description | Metastatic spinal cord compression of the cervical spine is a well-known consequence of cancer that generally manifests as an oncological emergency. This study presents and describes an alternative to the minimally invasive posterior full-endoscopic approach for direct decompression and tumor debulking from the metastasis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in the cervical spine. A 54-year-old man presented with progressive cervical radiculopathy that had persisted for 3 months. The underlying disease was HCC. Radiographic examination revealed evidence of metastatic spinal cord compression with an epidural mass at the C4-C5 levels, which compressed the C4-C5 spinal cord without bony destruction. The modified Tomita score was 6 to 8 points based on palliative surgery. A posterior full-endoscopic approach to remove the tumor from the metastasis of HCC in the cervical spine was done. A postoperative radiographic study revealed adequate tumor mass resection and spinal decompression. The patient was extremely satisfied with this alternative treatment and achieved complete neurologic recovery at 1 month and no recurrent symptoms at the 6-month follow-up. The technique of posterior full-endoscopic decompression of cervical metastasis causing unilateral radiculopathy, presented in this study, is feasible. This surgical intervention seems to be optional minimally invasive and acts as an alternative to palliative surgery. |
