“…Cavernous angioma may affect any part of the central nervous system [10]. Symptoms of trigeminal neuralgia are extremely rare for either intrinsic lesions (hemangioblastoma, astrocytoma, ependymoma) or extrinsic lesions (foramen magnum meningioma) [11].…”

“…The clinical findings are consistent in this series with previous reports of spinal cord compression and paraplegia due to vertebral metastases (Alexander et ai., 1956;Bansal et ai., 1967;Botterell and Fitzgerald, 1959;Brice and McKissock, 1965;Dickson, 1968 ;Kennady and Stern, 1962;Mullan and Evans, 1957;Perese, 1958;Smith, 1965;Torma, 1957;Wild and Porter, 1963).…”

“…Laminectomy and decompression has been advocated by many authors as the treatment of choice for paraplegia due to vertebral metastases (Botterell and Fitzgerald, 1959;Cole, Godsick and Norman, 1969;Kakulas and Bedbrook, 1976;Love, Miller and Kernohan, 1954;Mullan and Evans, 1957;Smith, 1965;Torma, 1957;Wild and Porter, 1963). However, other authors have disputed the value of laminectomy and have stated that surgery should be directed at pain relief (Arseni et al, 1959;Rasmussen, Kernohan and Adson, 1940;Shenkin, Horn and Grant, 1945).…”

“…Previous reports on this subject generally emphasise the clinical aspects (Alexander, Davis and Field, 1956;Botterell and Fitzgerald, 1959;Kennady and Stern, 1962;Mullan and Evans, 1957;Torma, 1957). Few give detailed descriptions of the metastatic deposits within the spinal column or of the spinal cord neuropathology (McAlhany and Netsky, 1955).…”

Summary. Clinical interest in spinal compression and resultant paraplegia due to metastases has mounted in recent years. This has stimulated attention to the neuropathology of the condition. Fourteen cases of spinal cord compression due to vertebral metastases are compared with over 100 traumatic cases. In the traumatic lesions there is central haemorrhagic necrosis leading to cavitation and gliosis with nerve root regeneration in the late stages. In the metastatic cases, lesions are often peripheral, pie-shaped and are related to vascular factors. The neuro pathology of cord necrosis due to metastatic spinal disease is therefore different to trauma. These observations have clinical importance in planning treatment.

“…His first paper, "Neoplastic diseases of the spinal extradural space," which was coauthored with Joseph Evans, his new section chief, appeared in the Archives of Surgery in 1957. 12 It reflected the collaboration and thoughtful analysis of clinical results that would become a common style of Mullan manuscripts. He soon followed with a paper, boldly authored alone at such an early stage in his career, on essential "don'ts" in craniocerebral trauma, dispensing gems gleaned from a novel analysis of the published literature and his own careful observations.…”
