Extradural spinal cord compression by rheumatoid nodule

Abstract

Rheumatoid disease is a systemic disorder affecting multiple organs. It is known to affect the nervous system in a variety of ways, but its presentation with spinal cord compression by a rheumatoid nodule is rare. We report two cases presenting with cord compression by a rheumatoid nodule who underwent surgical decompression with good recovery.
