Hemorrhagic synovial cyst: An unexpected cause of acute cervical spinal cord compression. Case report.

Introduction: Cervical synovial cysts are uncommon. They are most often responsible for a chronic clinical picture. Rarely, intracystic hemorrhage occurs, and may acutely present as radicular - or even spinal cord compression syndrome leading to irreversible neurological impairment.

Impact of local treatment on survival from hematological malignancies causing spinal cord compression.

Background: Various hematological malignancies, including multiple myeloma, plasmacytoma, aggressive lymphoma, and indolent lymphoma, rarely result in spinal cord compression.

Methods: Here, we retrospectively analyzed 32 patients with multiple myeloma (50%), plasmacytoma (13%), aggressive lymphoma (28%), and indolent lymphoma (9%), resulting in spinal cord compression (2004 and 2016). Patients averaged 57 years of age and presented with the indolent onset of spinal cord compression (91% of cases) resulting mostly in motor deficits (69%).
