dc.description.abstractA 64-year-old woman presented with progressive hearing loss. A pure-tone audiography confirmed bilateral high-frequency sensorineural hearing loss. Her medical and surgical history was unremarkable except for long-standing back pain. Neurological examination revealed mild dysmetria and gait ataxia. There was no leg weakness or sphincteric dysfunction. MRI revealed superficial siderosis lining the cerebellum and brainstem, which prompted further imaging of the entire neuraxis in order to exclude an underlying cause. A myxopapillary ependymoma seen at the level of the conus medullaris was felt to be responsible for recurrent haemorrhage within the subarachnoid space. [excerpt from Description]en_GB
