[Value of MRI in the detection of spinal cord metastases. Apropos of a case].
The authors report a case of an intramedullary metastasis in a 63-year-old woman with breast cancer. This complication is known to be rare, and of poor prognosis despite treatment. The authors emphasize the interest of magnetic resonance imaging as a major diagnostic investigation in small intramedullary lesions.
