Tumors of the posterior fossa presenting orthostatic hypotension are rare and only nine cases have been reported so far. The locations of almost all these tumors were near the fourth ventricle and three of them were hemangioblastoma. A case of a tumor of the fourth ventricle showing autonomic
It has already been noted that hemangioblastoma is occasionally complicated with various diseases, especially retinal angioma, cysts of kidney and/or pancreas, vascular disorders, and furthermore about 10% of hemangioblastoma are multiple. The authors report here a case of multiple cerebellar
Background: Symptomatic cerebellar hemangioblastomas are extremely rare in pregnant women and the ideal management is not well established. In the present article, we aimed to report a case of large cerebellar hemangioblastoma complicated by pregnancy and managed
We reported an extremely rare case of cerebellar hemangioblastoma with marked pleomorphism and reviewed the literature. A 68-year-old male presented with a one-month history of headache and vomiting. Neurological examination revealed right-sided dysmetria and truncal ataxia. Contrast-enhanced
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
Background: Hemangioblastomas are histologically benign tumors with a variable degree of morbidity and mortality based on various factors, including their anatomical location. The following paper illustrates a unique approach of combined therapy of a brainstem hemangioblastoma (HB) not
We hereby report an extremely unusual case of cystic angiomatous meningioma in the CPA region in a 58-year-old male patient. He presented with complaints of headache, repeated episodes of vomiting and increasing unsteadiness of gait. Neuroimaging showed a large multicystic left-sided tentorial tumor
Hemangioblastomas are tumors of the central nervous system that originate from the vascular system. They are most commonly composed of stromal cells in small blood vessels and usually occur in the cerebellum and spinal cord. We report a rare instance of a patient with a solitary hemangioblastoma
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
A 4-week-old child presented with lethargy, emesis, decreased spontaneous movements, and a bulging fontanelle. Neuroimaging demonstrated a large, hemispheric, multicystic lesion with multiple enhancing nodules, which, on pathological examination, proved to be multiple, distinct hemangioblastomas.
Solid hemangioblastomas of the cervicomedullary junction are benign vascular neoplasms malignantly located. Their unusual and characteristic clinical presentations include loss of involuntary respiratory drive, neurogenic hypertension, and emesis; these are secondary to their involvement of the
A case of cerebellar hemangioblastoma with von Hippel-Lindau disease and an aneurysm of the cavernous sinus segment of the internal carotid artery is presented here. A 60-year-old woman presented with a cerebellar solid tumor manifesting as headache of 4 months, progressive vomiting, and ataxia of
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
Intramedullary hemorrhages involving spinal hemangioblastomas are rare. They are frequently associated with devastating neurologic outcomes, despite with emergent surgical intervention. Here, we presented an example of an intramedullary hemorrhage occurring in a spinal Surgical resection of solid cerebellar hemangioblastomas can be challenging because of the profuse blood supply and tight space. We report two cases of solid cerebellar hemangioblastomas treated via surgical resection with the aid of preoperative endovascular embolization on the day of surgery. Case
