  • Title: Normal-pressure hydrocephalus associated with spinal cord tumor.
    Author: Yarnitsky D, Honigman S, Hemli JA, Bental E.
    Journal: Acta Neurol Scand; 1987 Oct; 76(4):302-5. PubMed ID: 3318270.
    Abstract:
    While the association of spinal cord tumor and high-pressure hydrocephalus is well known, only 5 cases of spinal cord tumor associated with normotensive hydrocephalus have been reported. Two further cases are described here, discussing the possible pathophysiological mechanism. It is suggested that these patients go through a subclinical stage of high-pressure hydrocephalus and become normotensive later on, a process which might influence the surgical results.
