Compression of the dural sac and its contents (spinal cord and or cauda equina) by an extradural tumour mass (Loblaw et al 2004).. Spinal cord or cauda equina compression by direct pressure and or induction of vertebral collapse or instability by metastatic spread or direct extension of malignancy that threatens or causes neurological disabilty(NICE 2008).
