  • Title: A case of raised intracranial pressure due to multiple lumbar nerve root melanotic schwannomas.
    Author: French PJ, Main G, Mowle D, Smith C.
    Journal: Br J Neurosurg; 2005 Dec; 19(6):502-4. PubMed ID: 16574565.
    Abstract:
    We report a patient with multiple cranial nerve and lumbar spine nerve root melanotic schwannomas, a rare variant of schwannoma, with raised intracranial pressure. Possible pathophysiology of the raised intracranial pressure by decreased CSF resorption due to blocked spinal lymphatics and other mechanisms is discussed.
