Hemangioblastoma originating from the right cerebellopontine angle.
The morbidity of hemangioblastoma in the supratentorial region is very low, and is seldom found in the area of the cerebellopontine angle, so it is easily misdiagnosis before surgery. We report and discuss a case of hemangioblastoma originating at the right cerebellopontine angle in a 42-year-old female patient.

Differential diagnosis of a solid cystic lesion in supratentorial location includes glioma,1 meningioma,2 metastatic tumor,3 or hemangioblastoma.1 Cystic meningioma is relatively a rare tumor.2 Among various histological variants of meningioma, the meningothelial type most frequently demonstrates cystic changes.3 Richly vascularized meningiomas of the angiomatous type were reported only in a fe...
متن کاملCerebellopontine angle meningioma presenting with hearing loss
We present the case of a 48-year-old woman with a cerebellopontine angle meningioma who presented with sensorineural hearing loss. The lesion was nearly 4 cm in maximum dimension and extended into the internal auditory canal. Hearing loss resulting from cerebellopontine angle tumor is most commonly caused by vestibular schwannomas, which arise directly from the sheath of the vestibular nerve (V...
متن کاملUnusual case of hemangioblastoma of the cerebellopontine angle
Background Hemangioblastomas are the most common primary tumor of the posterior fossa. There are few cases of hemangioblastoma of the cerebellopontine angle (CPA). When present in this location, hemangioblastoma presents a diagnostic challenge as its imaging findings closely resemble those of vestibular schwannoma (VS), which is much more common in the CPA. Case Description We report the case...
متن کاملA case of cystic form of angiomatous meningioma with prominent microvascular pattern mimicking haemangioblastoma.
A surgical case was reported of an unusual angiomatous variant of meningioma with predominant microvascular component and extensive cystic changes. The tumour was incidentally detected in a 79-year-old woman who was admitted to the hospital because of a head injury. The CT scan revealed in addition to bilateral subdural haematomas a large-sized (5 x 5 x 4 cm) multicystic tumour with a solid con...
