Increased intracranial pressure associated with spinal cord tumours.
Two cases of spinal cord tumour associated with increased intracranial pressure are reported and the 44 cases described in the literature are reviewed.

We think that several factors working together, rather than an isolated mechanism, take part in the production of this syndrome.
