Abstract
We describe a 29-year-old woman with persistent arterial hypertension which resolved following complete excision of a capillary haemangioblastoma from within the spinal cord at the cervico-medullary junction. Immunohistochemical staining was positive for neuropeptide Y in capillary walls and nerves in the tumour. This raises the possibility of an association between neuropeptide Y and the central control of blood pressure in man.Entities:
