Cerebral and cerebellar haemangioblastoma occurring in the same patient

Abstract

A middle-aged man who had undergone two previous operations on a cerebellar haemangioblastoma was found at CT follow- up thirteen years later to have a double supra- and infratentorial haemangioblastoma. The tumors were confirmed by vertebral angiography and removed by two-stage surgery. The importance of careful CT follow-up to detect the recurrence of multifocal haemangioblastoma is clear.

Sommario

È riferito il caso di un uomo di mezza età che è stato sottoposto a due interventi chirurgici per un emangioblastoma cerebellare. Una valutazione tomodensitometrica eseguita tredici anni dopo, ha mostrato un doppio emangioblastoma, uno sopra ed uno sottotentoriale, confermato all'angiografia vertebrale.

Entrambe le lesioni furono rimosse chirurgicamente. Gli autori sottolineano l'importanza di un attento controllo tomodensitometrico al fine di escludere la possibilità di un emangioblastoma multifocale.
