A Large Solitary Hemangioblastoma of the Lateral Ventricles: A Case Report and Literature Review

Hemangioblastoma (HB) in the supratentorial region of the brain is rare and only a few cases are reported on intraventricular HB. HB of the lateral ventricles is even rarer. We present a case of a 30-year-old man with generalized tonic clonic seizures. The brain computed tomography showed a 5.5 cm heterogeneous mass extending into both lateral ventricles with partial enhancement. Based on the s...

Supratentorial hemangioblastoma.

Hemangioblastomas are extremely rare in supratentorial locations, and to date, approximately 128 cases of supratentorial hemangioblastoma have been reported in the literature. Here, we report a female case of supratentorial hemangioblastoma, not associated with von Hippel-Lindau disease. We describe its clinical, neuropathological, and neuroradiological characteristics, elaborate the surgical p...
