Apoplectic presentation of a cauda equina paraganglioma.

CONCLUSION: CEPs commonly present with mild symptoms and signs rather than the acute-onset of a flaccid paraparesis/cauda equina syndrome as seen in this case. Here, the authors review the radiological and histopathological characteristics of CEP and emphasize the role of IHC in differentiating "CEP" from the more common ependymomas. PMID: 27127702 [PubMed]
