Rinoliquorrea Spontanea da Ependimoma del Filum

Abstract

English

Viene riportato un caso di rinoliquorrea spontanea secondaria ad idrocefalo comunicante da ependimoma del filum a duplice localizzazione.

Vengono discussi i meccanismi patogenetici alla base di questa inusuale associazione patologica, anche alla luce dei dati derivati dalla letteratura.
