Objective And Importance: We successfully treated a patient with stenosis of the left subclavian artery, complicated by bilateral common carotid artery occlusion, via axilloaxillary bypass surgery.

Successful removal of solitary intramedullary spinal cord metastasis from colon cancer.

A 69-year-old patient with an intramedullary metastasis from colon carcinoma is presented. Total removal of the tumor brought him 3 months of useful life. Although radiation therapy is generally favored, one should consider microsurgical resection of discrete, solitary intramedullary metastases in patients with radioresistant primary tumors.
