Supratentorial hemangioblastoma

Neurosciences (Riyadh). 2011 Apr;16(2):150-2.

Abstract

Hemangioblastomas are extremely rare in supratentorial locations, and to date, approximately 128 cases of supratentorial hemangioblastoma have been reported in the literature. Here, we report a female case of supratentorial hemangioblastoma, not associated with von Hippel-Lindau disease. We describe its clinical, neuropathological, and neuroradiological characteristics, elaborate the surgical protocols, and follow-up methods, and review the pertinent literature.
