Hydrocephalus and Spinal Tumors

  • Chapter
Pediatric Hydrocephalus

Abstract

Spinal cord tumors are relatively rare in the pediatric population, comprising only 6%–10% of all central nervous system tumors in this group. Hydrocephalus and intracranial hypertension in the context of spinal cord tumors is a rare but well documented association. Since the first report of Nonne in 1900 [126], there have been more than 200 cases reported in the literature. The majority of these were published in the last 20 years, after the advent of CT and MRI. The interest that these rare cases generate is largely due to the intriguing pathophysiological mechanisms responsible for them.
