In the elderly, cerebellar lesions are commonly metastatic tumours with poor prognosis. We describe two octogenarians who presented with obstructive hydrocephalus, secondary to posterior fossa tumours that, on computed tomography, were thought to be cerebellar metastases. Both lesions were excised and the histology proved them to be cerebellar haemangioblastomas, primary benign tumours of the posterior fossa, which are rare in the elderly.
在老年人中，小脑病变通常是转移性肿瘤，预后较差。我们描述了两位八旬老人，他们因后颅窝肿瘤继发梗阻性脑积水而就诊，计算机断层扫描显示这些肿瘤被认为是小脑转移瘤。两个病变均被切除，组织学检查证实它们是小脑成血管细胞瘤，这是后颅窝的原发性良性肿瘤，在老年人中较为罕见。
