Abstract
Spinal cord compression caused by multiple myeloma is not a common first presentation of the patients. A 65 year old man presented with progressive paraparesis. MRI images revealed tumor in T3 vertebra, which were low signal intensity curvilinear areas within the vertebra or cortical irregularity. The tumor had epidural extension and caused cord compression.
