Summary
A case of supratentorial haemangioblastoma is presented. Diagnostic examinations, including computerized axial tomography, were not accurate. Histological examination of the removed tissue disclosed the correct diagnosis.
Supratentorial haemangioblastomas are very rare tumours. We describe a case with regard to preoperative neuroradiological investigations, computerized axial tomography, and final histological diagnosis.
