Abstract

The authors report 5 cases of spinal tumor associated with subarachnoid hemorrhage. Histologically, the tumor was an ependymoma in 2 cases, a neurinoma in 2 cases and a hemangioblastoma in 1 case. The pathogenetic and diagnostic characteristics of these 5 cases are analyzed in the light of other published reports.
