1Speciality Registrar, Neurosurgery, James Cook University Hospital, Middlesbrough, UK.
Abstract:
Objective: We report a 63 years old female who presented with confusion, urinary retention and gait disturbances.Method: CT head shows communicating hydrocephalus. Spinal MRI demonstrated an L5- S1 intradural lesion.Result: Histopathology proved it to be paraganglioma. Postoperative CT head showed reduction in size of ventricles. Association between spinal tumors and hydrocephalus is known but occurs infrequently.Conclusion: The presence of an intraspinal tumor must be kept in mind as a possible cause of the hydrocephalus.
