Myelopathy due to renal disease – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/1863791908

This is very rare and has been reported to be due to compression from a Brown tumour (osteoclastoma) caused by secondary hyperparathyroidism associated with chronic renal failure. Brown tumours can very rarely develop in the spinal cord.
