Hemangioblastomas are benign tumors that develop in the central nervous system. They represent 1.5-2.5% of all intracranial tumors, and about 2-15% of all spinal cord tumors. They are highly associated with von Hippel-Lindau disease.
A 36-year-old female presented with a 4-year history of progressive right upper extremity distal weakness and cervical pain. The magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated a homogeneously, contrast enhancing intradural/intramedullary tumor at C6-C7 with perilesional edema and a syrinx accompanied by a cerebellar cyst with a mural nodule. Surgery included excision of the spinal lesion and decompression and excision of the cerebellar cyst and mural nodule (i.e., median suboccipital craniectomy and cervical C5-C7 laminectomy).
Surgery is the gold standard treatment for symptomatic hemangioblastomas, and surgical approaches should minimize risk.
血管母细胞瘤是发生于中枢神经系统的良性肿瘤。它们占所有颅内肿瘤的1.5%-2.5%,占所有脊髓肿瘤的约2%-15%。它们与冯·希佩尔-林道病高度相关。
一名36岁女性,有4年进行性右上肢远端无力和颈部疼痛病史。磁共振成像显示C6-C7水平有一个均匀强化的硬脊膜内/髓内肿瘤,伴有瘤周水肿和一个空洞,同时伴有一个小脑囊肿及壁结节。手术包括切除脊髓病变、减压以及切除小脑囊肿和壁结节(即枕下正中颅骨切除术和颈椎C5-C7椎板切除术)。
手术是有症状血管母细胞瘤的金标准治疗方法,手术入路应将风险降至最低。
