Abstract
- We describe a rare case of 52-year-old woman with lumbar schwannoma associated with hydrocephalus. In our case, the signs and symptoms of intracranial hypertension were not resolved even after the complete removal of the lumbar schwannoma. We also reviewed the literature on the association of hydrocephalus with spinal cord tumor.
