Typical magnetic resonance features of a haemangioblastoma, an uncommon nerve root lesion: Case report and literature review
2007
SUMMARY
Haemangioblastomas are uncommon tumours of the central nervous system. Nerve root haemangioblastomas with both intradural and extradural components are extremely rare. We present a case of a C2 nerve root haemangioblastoma in a 64-year-old man where the preoperative diagnosis was a spinal meningioma. An unexpectedly vascular tumour was found at initial procedure. Urgent catheter angiography was performed and the tumour was embolized prior to complete excision at a subsequent procedure.
