Hydrocephalus Following Spinal Cord Schwannoma Resection

Infantile Spinal Cord Tumor Presenting as Hydrocephalus

“…1 They found that the tumor was intramedullary in 60 reported cases, and that in 27 of these (45%), the tumor was malignant. They also noted that the association of hydrocephalus with benign extramedullary tumors was even more uncommon, with only 27 documented cases.…”

“…A variety of mechanisms have been suggested, the principal one being the impaired absorption of CSF, the causes of which include elevated protein, 5 basal arachnoiditis due to tumor infiltration into the basal cisterns, 7 and compression of the venous spinal plexus by tumor. 1 Kudo et. al.…”

Upper thoracic spinal schwannoma leading to intracranial hypertension and hydrocephalus: A case report and literature review

“…[ 11 ] Six cases showed intracranial hypertension and hydrocephalus, mainly located at the cervical segment, inferior thoracic segment, lumbar segment, and cauda. [ 11 , 12 , 14 , 15 ] It has been reported that oligodendroglioma often grows slowly in the white matter of the brain and contributes to intracranial pressure, HE staining showed cell swelling, clear light, and obvious nuclear atypia. [ 16 ]…”

Ependymoma of the Cauda Equina Starting with Communicating Hydrocephalus: A Case Report

“…In 1992, Bland and McDonald [1] reported on 87 cases with different types of spinal cord tumors in association with concomitant hydrocephalus. The authors found that in 60 patients, the tumor was intramedullary (mainly different grade of astrocytoma), and only in 27 cases, it was extramedullary.…”
