Sumario:Rosai–Dorfman disease (RDD) predominantly affects cervical lymph nodes and presents with fever and pancytopenia. Central nervous system involvement though uncommon is often reported. Hydrocephalus and paraparesis as a consequence of RDD is an extremely rare entity. We present a 58-year-old male, diagnosed and treated for RDD with cervical lymphadenopathy, who now presented with spastic paraparesis and on evaluation was found to have communicating hydrocephalus that resolved after ventriculoperitoneal shunt surgery.
