Description

As this issue is a diagnosis and therapeutic emergency, the authors report the development of a method to take into care medullary metastatic compression of the breast cancer. This study is based on 13 patients of a Rabat hospital over 3 years. Compressions have been observed by MRI. They have been treated by cortico-therapy and radiotherapy, but also by laminectomy in one case. The authors observed a improvement in terms of symptomatology, and a neurological recovery from the fourth week after the treatment. Short communication
