title: [Value of magnetic resonance imaging in the detection of intramedullary metastases of bronchial epidermoid carcinoma].
abstract: A 68 year old female presented with an intramedullary metastasis which was found to be caused by an epidermoid bronchial carcinoma. This type of metastasis is a rare complication and a diagnosis is difficult. The authors stress the importance of nuclear magnetic resonance as a non-aggressive diagnostic method which is very sensitive in detecting this type of pathology.
