  • Title: [Hydrocephalus as initial presentation of a spinal cord tumour in a child].
    Author: Jørgensen LM, Nysom K, Lavard LD.
    Journal: Ugeskr Laeger; 2008 Sep 15; 170(38):2981. PubMed ID: 18808755.
    Abstract:
    We report a previously healthy two-year-old girl who initially presented with signs of increased intracranial pressure of vomiting, lethargy and unstable gait. She had communicating hydrocephalus and a ventriculoperitoneal shunt was placed. Two years later the girl developed signs of myelopathy and was diagnosed with a spinal cord tumour between Th3 and Th9. We suggest that spinal cord tumour should be considered in patients with increased intracranial pressure or hydrocephalus of unknown origin.
