Cauda equina syndrome secondary to intradural renal cell carcinoma metastasis haemorrhage

Abstract

Intradural renal cell carcinoma (RCC) metastasis is rare. We report a case of an 81-year-old female presenting with acute cauda equina syndrome (CES), secondary to intradural RCC metastasis haemorrhage. To our knowledge this is the first case of CES secondary to acute haemorrhage within an intradural RCC metastasis.
