Abstract
We present an unusual case of paraplegia which occurred on the second postnatal day. Investigations revealed a spinal mass at D-7 level. Histopathology of the tumor showed it to be a spinal metastasis from a solitary thyroid malignant nodule. The patient had laminotomy and biopsy, followed later by total thyroidectomy. She also had radiotherapy and radio-iodine ablation. We discuss the therapeutic modalities of such a condition.
