Rehabilitation Practice and Science
It has been reported that neurilemomas comprise approximately 30% of primary intraspinal neoplasms. Spinal cord tumors, sometimes without spinal symptoms, occasionally cause signs and symptoms of intracranial disease in the form of papilledema and/or hydrocephalus.The association of hydrocephalus with benign extramedullary spinal cord tumors is particularly rare. The incidence was only 1% to 3%. So, in the diagnosis of intraspinal tumor, the associated presentations of intracranial hypertension were as important as hydrocephalus. Especially, when some of these signs and symptoms were noted in the elderly, intraspinal lesion should also be taken into consideration in addition to the most common cause …
