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.Palavras-chave
