OBJECTIVE
To describe the clinical course of advanced juxtapapillary retinal capillary hemangioblastomas (RCH) associated with von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease treated with systemic sunitinib malate, an agent that inhibits both anti-vascular endothelial growth factor and anti-platelet-derived growth
Desmoid tumors are histologically benign but locally invasive tumors that rarely can occur in the head and neck. In this article, we illustrate a rare case of desmoid tumor formation in intracranial posterior fossa after suboccipital craniotomy for hemangioblastoma. A 43-year-old woman presented
Capillary hemangioblastoma (CHB) is a benign, highly vascularized tumor that generally occurs in central nervous system either in the setting of von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease or, more often, as a solitary sporadic lesion that is increasingly recognized in extraneural sites. We present the case of
BACKGROUND
Cerebellar hemangioblastomas are unusual benign neoplasms that may go undetected for years. When associated with pregnancy, however, these tumors may undergo rapid expression and promote progression of symptomatology.
METHODS
A 28-year-old woman with ataxia and left-sided weakness was
Coexistence of brain tumors of different pathologies is rare, and the majority of the cases were related to genetic disorders or secondary tumors occurring after radiotherapy. A 73-year-old man was introduced to the outpatient department suffering from severe nausea and vertigo. Magnetic resonance
Background: The development of diffuse cerebral vasospasm after the removal of a brain tumor is extremely rare. We report a case of cerebral vasospasm after the removal of a posterior fossa hemangioblastoma.
We presented a case of hemangioblastoma associated with spina bifida occulta, persistent metopic suture, thyroid adenocarcinoma, vertebro-occipital anastomosis and erythrocytosis. We have not found a hemangioblastoma with these associations, as far as we have seen in the literature. 36-year-old male
BACKGROUND
Sporadic hemangioblastomas show a strong preference for the cerebellum. We clarify the clinical characteristics and role of surgery in sporadic cerebellar hemangioblastomas.
METHODS
This 11-year retrospective study enrolled 20 patients (10 men and 10 women; 41.6±9.8 years) with sporadic
BACKGROUND
Haemangioblastoma has been uncommonly reported to occur in coexistence either temporally or spatially with the development of an arteriovenous malformations (AVM). We present a case of a delayed AVM following haemangioblastoma resection.
METHODS
44 year old female initially presented with
We report a rare case of a second primary brain tumor following esophageal cancer. A 56-year old Japanese man underwent a transhiatal esophagectomy for esophageal carcinoma. Two years after the operation, signs of increased intracranial hypertension including headache, nausea and left limb ataxia
A 67-year-old man presented with dizziness, nausea, and ataxia. Magnetic resonance imaging showed a large (5.5 x 4 x 4 cm) cystic lesion in the left cerebellar hemisphere with internal septation, a mural nodule, and thin rim enhancement. Cystic cerebellar tumor such as hemangioblastoma was initially
A middle-aged female patient with a depressive disorder presented to a mental hospital because of a 2-month worsening history of headache, dizziness, and nausea. The next morning, she was observed to be sleeping, but was then found dead 1h later. Postmortem computed tomography and autopsy revealed a
OBJECTIVE
The goal of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of same-day stereotactic aspiration and Gamma knife surgery (GKS) for cystic intracranial tumors.
METHODS
Between 1996 and 2007, 77 patients harboring cystic intracranial tumors underwent a same-day procedure of MRI-guided cyst
