Most of intradural tumors are primary tumors and few of them are metastatic tumors. Especially, spinal intradural metastatic tumors which are derived from renal cell carcinoma are rarer. Even though such tumors occur, it accompany with brain metastasis in many cases. And there was no report regarding isolated intradural metastasis, without metastasizing on brain or other central nervous system organs, in domestic.

Myocardial free wall rupture is the most serious complication of acute myocardial infarction. Although it is not uncommon, it is difficult to treat successfully. We report a case of acute inferior myocardial infarction complicated with left ventricular free wall rupture that occurred 8 hours after onset of chest pain. In this case, progression of mild pericardial effusion to cardiac tamponade was monitored by transhtoracic echocardiography. Pericardiocentesis and draninage failed to treat cardiac tamponade, and surgical repair was performed successfully. The patient discharged uneventfully on 28th day and followed regularly at the outpatient department.
