in patients with metastatic lesions to spinal cord and presenting with signs and symps of cord compression, glucocorticoids are a must even before sending to MRI.

In patients with traumatic spinal cord injury, the role of glucocorticoids is not well defined. It is controversial and not much evidence showing potential benefit. If you give corticosteroids here, you should give within 8 hrs of injury
