Overview
Common causes of spinal cord compression include trauma, primary or metastatic spinal tumor, intervertebral disk herniation, epidural abscess, and epidural hematoma.
Causes
Common causes of acute spinal cord compression include [1]
- Trauma
- Tumor (primary or secondary)[2]
- Secondary tumors: lung cancer, breast cancer, prostate cancer, or renal cancer. Sarcoma, myeloma, leukemia, thyroid cancer, lymphoma, melanoma, and gastrointestinal malignancies can also cause spinal cord compression
- Intervertebral disk disease
- Scoliosis
- Vertebral compression fractures
- Epidural abscess
- Epidural hematoma[3][4]
