description This case report demonstrates cervical spinal cord pathology which presented with brainstem and cerebellar signs consequent to the peritumoural oedema that extended rostrally to the pontomedullary junction. A Medline search of the literature back to 1960 failed to produce any previous report of a cervical ependymoma presenting with brainstem and cerebellar signs purely consequent to oedema. This case highlights the need to look further afield when presented with the scenario of clinical features of a brainstem lesion with only oedema apparent on cranial imaging. It indicates the need to include cervical imaging well below the foramen magnum in these circumstances.
