Spinal metastases can cause intractable pain and neurological deficits, which can markedly worsen both patients' activities of daily living (ADL) and their health-related quality of life (QOL). Early intervention is essential to prevent irreversible neurological deficits and pain associated with spinal metastases. We investigated the imaging features of spinal metastases that led to neurological deficits.
