A case of cauda equina haemangiopericytoma presenting with spinal subarachnoid haemorrhage is reported. The tumour had been asymptomatic until 2 weeks prior to presentation, and resulted in complete paraplegia below L3. The authors underline the uncommon association of spinal subarachnoid haemorrhage and cauda equina tumour and the rare finding of a cauda equina haemangiopericytoma.
