title: Papilloedema secondary to a spinal paraganglioma.
abstract: An asymptomatic 72-year-old man presented with bilateral papilloedema. Cranial CT imaging was normal, but lumbar puncture found an opening pressure of 320 mmH2O (120-250) with raised cerebrospinal fluid protein, increased red blood cells and xanthochromia. MR scan of spine showed a cauda equina tumour, histologically defined as a paraganglioma. The papilloedema resolved after surgery.
