摘要：

A case is reported of a patient rendered quadraparetic following collapse of a cervical vertebra due to neoplastic invasion by metastatic glioblastoma multiforme. The case is discussed in light of a review of the world literature regarding the clinical incidence and significance of metastasis of glial tumors. It is recommended that all patients with high grade glial tumors who complain of back pain be evaluated with plain radiographs and MRI of the spine or Tc-99 bone scan. The management of pathologic spine fractures from metastatic glial tumors with accompanying spinal instability or spinal cord compression due to intracanalicular bone should aim for immediate surgical decompression and stabilization followed by involved field irradiation.
